Is the Nations Championship better than the World Cup?

The Rugby Unfiltered team of Eugene Eloff and Jan de Koning tackles one of the most intriguing questions of the game - whether the Nations Championship is more exciting than the World Cup. For many, the World Cup remains the ultimate pinnacle of the sport due to its global prestige, 40-year history, and the inclusion of emerging nations. However, the Nations Championship, based on this past weekend's Round One, offers far higher structural intensity and elite consistency. They also look at the past weekend's games, which players were the best value, Rassie Erasmus' revamped (10 changes) Springbok team and predict the outcome of Round Two. ‪@RugbyUnfiltered2025‬
