South Africa take on Argentina on the brink of securing a rare Rugby Championship crown after two wins over the All Blacks.The Springboks have won this competition just once since the Pumas’ addition to the tournament and not since 2019,

A group still led by Pablo Matera will have to match South Africa today. The visitors are without four of their regular starting five at the back of the scrum - if Argentina can get on top of that remodelled group at the breakdown and dominate the lineout, a shock could very well be on the cards.

The Springboks go into next week’s match at the Mbombela Stadium with a five point lead at the top of the standings. They basically need a point to win their first Rugby Championship title since 2019.
