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.

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,

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.
