New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina look ready to lock horns in the Rugby Championship (essentially the southern hemisphere Six Nations).
Despite lifting the trophy last year, New Zealand have struggled as of late. But although Richie McCaw era is over, half-backs Beauden Barrett and Aaron Smith are still among the best in the world.
Having beaten the All Blacks last year, habitual also-rans Argentina are a rejuvenated force, with captain Julián Montoya the leader of a brilliant pack. Can they lay down a marker ahead of the World Cup?
Former England coach Eddie Jones is back in Australia, guiding his native country's Wallabies. Mercurial fly half James O'Connor is hoping for a clean slate, while Michael Hooper and James Slipper have been named co-captains.
South Africa, meanwhile, retain one of the biggest packs in world rugby, but director of rugby Rassie Erasmus says his squad will be split across their two opening fixtures as they assess their options.
