Roll of honour | Rugby Championship

Cape Town - The 2019 Rugby Championship - formerly known as the Tri-Nations - saw the Springboks victorious for the very first time since its inception in 2012.

The Tri-Nations, comprising New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, was launched in 1996.

In 2012 Argentina were added to the tournament, resulting in a forced name change to the Rugby Championship.

The All Blacks have dominated through the years, winning 16 of the 24 tournaments held to date.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
