Briefly
The South Africa v New Zealand in Johannesburg is the big game this weekend. New Zealand goes into the match undefeated in the 2013 Rugby Championship. South Africa lost one game to New Zealand and need to win with a bonus point to have a chance of taking the title. New Zealand needs to just win or draw to retain the title.

Australia faces their toughest challenge when they meet an improving Argentina at home. Both teams are battling to avoid the ‘wooden spoon’.

Israel and Luxembourg square off to decide the Europe Round 2 winner in the 2015 Rugby World Cup qualifying process. The winner will face the Netherlands on October 26 to decide the Round 3 position.
