HEAD SCRATCHING

Still a few positions that are up for debate ahead of back-to-back All Black home games.

After a perfect start to the Rugby Championship, the Springboks now turn their attention to arguably their biggest challenge of the year - two Tests against their biggest rivals, the All Blacks, in South Africa.

Thanks to two bonus point wins over the Wallabies Down Under, coupled with the All Blacks slipping up in their Rugby Championship opener against Argentina, before bouncing back in the second game, the Boks top the table on 10 points ahead of the All Blacks in second, on five points.

The South Africans are in the driving seat and next welcome New Zealand to Ellis Park at the end of the month, and the Cape Town Stadium at the start of September.
