After a two-year absence from the top spot, the All Blacks could be back to world No 1 this weekend.
Stuff.Co reports that if results in the Rugby Championship tomorrow night play out in similar fashion to what they did last Sunday, the men in black can put an end to the Springboks’ reign at the head of World Rugby’s rankings.
Should South Africa follow up last weekend’s 28-26 defeat to Australia with another loss to the Wallabies in the first match of the double-header, that would open the door for New Zealand.
The All Blacks, who crushed Argentina 39-0 last weekend, would then jump to top position if they follow that up by beating the Pumas by 15 points or more. That required margin could potentially be less if the Wallabies were to beat the Springboks by 15-plus.
The All Blacks face Argentina at 10.05pm tomorrow while the Wallabies face South Africa at 7.05pm tomorrow.
