Two years is a long time in the world of sports and is forever in international rugby. So Springbok fans might want to temper their enthusiasm over the green and gold’s status as favorites to win the next World Cup (which will be held in New Zealand — a relevant fact, no?). That said, amabokoboko are the only justifiable choice right now and barring some epic fail in the next year or so will hold steady on to that front-runner label.
Meanwhile the Tri-Nations is going to expand to include Argentina. The (Quad?) Nations, already the best international competition of its kind (all respect to fans of the Six Nations), will be bringing in the 6th ranked team in the world with the addition of the Pumas, though Argentina will go in as the decided underdogs nearly every year for the foreseeable future.
