Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are back with the next Rugby Championship edition of their end-of-week offering, Games of the Week – where this week Harry is in the carpark of Heathrow Airport in London en route to Johannesburg, to see South Africa v New Zealand at Ellis Park, while Brett is setting his alarm for that blockbuster match, plus Argentina v Australia from La Plata. Two very big games, but for four very different reasons.

Which opposition players would you drop into your side right now? The boys conduct their own Test Rugby mock draft, 8-9 style, and ponder how to make South Africa and Australia better. Or New Zealand and Argentina worse, probably.

This week’s Games of the Week:

• South Africa v New Zealand in Johannesburg

• Argentina v Australia in La Plata

Plus, it’s Round 2 of the Pacific Nations Cup, and the NPC in NZ, and the Currie Cup in South Africa get a mention, too.
