Preparations are in full swing and happening in all earnest for the Rugby World Cup 2019, happening in just more than a month, in Japan.
Teams are positioning themselves, showing their hands, building their squads…
Having had a full Sunday und another half day to ponder the past weekend’s Test results, the following:
The Rugby Championship 2019:
Springboks:
Rassie seems to be building nicely for the Rugby World Cup and the Springboks are in a far better place now than a month ago. Depth in positions are fine, combinations seem more sorted… still little errors but a huge improvement overall.

South Africa showed their determination to secure a return to the Women’s Rugby World Cup stage with an impressive display of attacking rugby that Uganda simply had no answer to in their Rugby Africa Women’s Cup 2019 match at Bosman Stadium in Brakpan.
The hosts simply had too much pace, power and experience for Uganda, a side ranked 33 places below them in the World Rugby Women’s Rankings, and 10 first-half tries set them on the road to an 89-5 victory in their opening match played on National Women’s Day in South Africa.
Kenya were the other winners on day one of the first African women’s 15s competition, although they had to battle much harder for their 35-5 victory over test debutants Madagascar in the opening match of a tournament that will determine the first regional qualifier for Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021 in New Zealand.

The Currie Cup First Division will feature added beef in the form of Argentinean outfit, the Jaguares XV, when it kicks off this weekend with a full round of matches.
The South Americans will play in the Currie Cup First Division for the first time after a similar sortie in the Vodacom Cup a couple of years back. They are based in Potchefstroom and will face a short, but tough trip to Welkom, where they will face Griffons, in their tournament debut.
The Argentineans could again prove a handful. Coach Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe himself is a well-known figure in world rugby, having played for the Pumas in three Rugby World Cups, while they have some notable players in their squad as well.
Gonzalo Bertranou (scrumhalf), who played for the Jaguares in the Super Rugby tournament this year, is returning from injury and will be a boost to the squad.

Edinburgh have continued to strengthen their squad ahead of next season with the signing of South African scrum-half, Nic Groom.
Groom, 29, joins from Super Rugby side Lions and brings a wealth of experience having amassed over 100 appearances for both the Stormers and Northampton Saints in recent seasons.
The scrum-half was a key man in the 2019 Lions Super Rugby squad that narrowly missed out on reaching the knockout stages of the competition, appearing in 13 out of 16 conference fixtures.
On joining the club, Groom said: “I’m really excited to link-up with Edinburgh. I’ve been keeping an eye on their results from South Africa and it’s definitely a club on the rise. I can’t wait to play my role in the seasons to come.
“My time at the Lions has been awesome. I’ve had the chance to work with fantastic coaches alongside some great players and I’m hugely grateful for the opportunity they gave me to play for them.
“From what I’ve heard, Edinburgh is a great place to live and play your rugby. My family can’t wait for the adventure that lies ahead.”
