A MEMORABLE SEASON FOR RASSIE AND SOUTH AFRICA
The Springboks will finish the year on 92.78. Meaning, they will finish the 2024 year as the number one rugby team in the world.
The Springboks lifted the Nelson Mandela Plate, Freedom Cup and Rugby Championship before going unbeaten in their end of year tour to the UK.
They also had three of the four World Rugby Player of the Year nominees including the World Rugby Player of the Year, Pieter-Steph du Toit.
ONE MORE TEST TO GO
There is one more Test match left this year between Ireland and Australia.
However, no scoreline can see Ireland overtake the Springboks.
A loss to Australia would see New Zealand leap-frog the Irish into second to close off the 2024 season.
Such a result would see the Springboks extend their lead over Ireland.
A win for the Aussies would see former Ireland coach Joe Schmidt and his men move up to sixth with Ireland dropping to third.
DO YOU THINK AUSTRALIA CAN UPSET THE IRISH IN THE FINAL TEST OF 2024?
