The Rugby Championship has been run and won for 2025, but the real question would seem to be has it been run and won forever? Rugby writer and author Geoff Parkes joined Brett McKay and Harry Jones on The 8/9 Combo Rugby Podcast to ponder that very question.

And as a way to wrap up The Rugby Championship properly for 2025 (but maybe forever), Harry sat a couple of homework tasks before this week’s chat, namely:

1. Was that the last ever TRC?

2. If this was the last TRC, how will the TRC be recalled?

3. Who from each of the 4 teams whose TRC performance exceeded your expectations? And..

4. When did each team look their best, and why they all had at least one shitty game.

It all makes for a substantive, meaty, profound way to the conclude the TRC. Maybe forever.
