Round 4

Saturday 16th September


Today's TRC update is proudly brought to you by our sponsors @surpassinggoogle and @hanshotfirst


New Zealand v South Africa, QBE Stadium, Auckland, New Zealand
19:35 local, 07:35 GMT, 17:35 AEST, 17:05 ACST, 15:35 AWST


Always a bloody battle when these two teams go head to head

New Zealand and South Africa face off for the first time this year and it is shaping up to be one hell of a match but injuries could play a part in the final outcome with both teams suffering losses. South Africa have found some form and building upon it with each game but have yet to beat NZ since 2009. Tying with Australia in their last match they will be hoping to nullify the All blacks attack and looking to capitalise from gaps in the backline defense as Austalia did. However, New Zealand is the team to beat and have not lost a game this season.

Australia v Argentina, GIO Stadium, Canberra Australia
20:00 local, 10:00 GMT, 20:00 AEST, 19:30 ACST, 18:00 AWST


Fundamentals and controlling the game will determine the outcome

Both teams fighting for their championship lives this weekend but if going by past history, Argentina has an uphill battle on their hands with only one ever win on Australian soil and that was way back in 1983. If Australia can keep level heads, concentrate on the fundamentals for the first 50 minutes, and not let Argentina get away on the board, then they shouldn't have to do anything spectacular in the last 30. This is where Argentina's game has been getting the best of them and some commentators, like Steve Hanson, saying "They've got a horrific schedule. I think that takes a lot out of them - I certainly wouldn't want to be doing it..."

AU at $1.14
ARG at $5.75

Terrific Rugby news aside, this is one of the most beautiful posts SirKnight has seen on Steemit. You are doing a terrific job here at Community News @worldrugby (Nex) - hoping you can offer some styling tips to our Reporters from time to time. SirKnight.

Wow, thank you so much for your kind words @sirknight. That really means a lot as I do take a lot of time, probably too much, to get it to a stage where I think it looks good.

This a very nice looking post. Sirknight sent me over to have a look. I just dropped a post today for communitynews aswell under @majorleaguenews. It's not this pretty tho. Keep up the good work

Thanks for checking it out. Just a little tip with yours, using the <center> </center> tags to center text and pictures can have a dramatic effect.
