It's because of how much more travel there is in the Rugby Championship - the air miles are massive so its friendlier on the players & the budget to cut down on the flights by travelling once and playing 2 games. So each team plays one series at home, one series away, and one series home & away. Hence ABs have two away games against the Saffas again this year.
