September is proving to be an exciting month for the All Blacks as they seek to conquer the Investec 2018 Rugby Championship that’s only gaining momentum in New Zealand this month. Up against two powerhouse teams from the southern hemisphere, Argentina and South Africa, the All Blacks will be looking to make the home country proud in the next two matches of the series.

The Investec Rugby Championship 2018 is the seventh edition of the expanded annual rugby championship between teams from the southern hemisphere, which features Argentina, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.

On the 8th of September, a test will be held at Nelson’s Trafalgar Park– the first time in history that Nelson is hosting an All Blacks test. Fighting against Argentina, it’s looking to be a historic test to remember in Nelson – the birthplace of New Zealand rugby!

A week later, the All Blacks will be facing the Springboks from South Africa in windy Wellington, as the South Africans look to defeat the Kiwis after their one-point loss last year. This match will be a prelude to their upcoming World Cup Pool B match-up in Japan in 2019.

All Blacks Tours, official providers of All Blacks supporters travel, have already sold out of all their tour packages for this year’s Investec Rugby Championship, including the tours that are taking fans to Buenos Aires and Pretoria. All Blacks fans will definitely be front and centre to watch Kiwis make world history, whether that’s in home soil or exotic land.
