The schedule for the 2021 Rugby Championship has been unveiled with the bulk of games being be played in Australia and New Zealand, with both countries hosting five matches each.

The tournament opens on August 14 with the Springboks taking on Argentina. Argentina mounted a remarkable campaign last year, coming out of lockdown and quarantine to beat the All Blacks for the first time and drawing twice with the Wallabies.

Australia will play three Tests against New Zealand in August, beginning with a match outside the Rugby Championship at Eden Park on August 7 to open the Bledisloe Cup.
