This is the last edition of the Rugby Championship before it moves from an annual hosting to being held on a biennial basis – a shame, in a way, even if there is excitement to come amid a slightly uncertain future.

The Rugby Championship kicks off with an intriguing meeting between South Africa and Australia at Johannesburg’s Ellis Park. The Springboks are the defending champions and again strong contenders for the competition – but can a Wallabies side that grew throughout the British and Irish Lions series spring a shock?

Kick off is at 4.10pm BST.
