READERS’ CHOICE: South African coach Rassie Erasmus has an intriguing decision to make – go all out to win the Rugby Championship or build for the World Cup.

The Springboks are currently on a training camp in Auckland, before heading to Buenos Aires fort their final Rugby Championship outing against Argentina next week.

The Boks head the standings on seven points, one ahead of New Zealand (six) – with Australia (on four) an outside chance, while Los Pumas (two) are out of the running.

A bonus-point win in Buenos Aires will secure the Rugby Championship title for the first time for the Springboks.

Their last win was the Tri-Nations back in 2009.
