The Rugby Championship has traditionally featured two matches between each of the four competing nations.
With 2015 being a World Cup year, though, things have been tweaked, with each team playing each other just once. This will make for a confusing travel schedule, with many of the venues yet to be announced.
New Zealand and Argentina are the two teams that will have to play just one away game and two home, with the Wallabies and the Springboks being the lucky ones with two home games.
Australia have already been booked in for games at Suncorp Stadium and ANZ Stadium against South Africa and New Zealand respectively, but will have to travel to Argentina between those games.
New Zealand will have a three-week long road trip, where they will play South Africa and Argentina on the road.
Many of the venues for the 2015 Rugby Championship are still to be confirmed.
There will be an extra round of international games played for no points, on the weekend of the 15th August. Australia and New Zealand will play the second Bledisloe Cup match of the year at Eden Park, while Argentina will host South Africa as the sides tune up for the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
