Argentina will look to bounce back on Sunday when they take on South Africa in the Rugby Championship. This is The Roar’s guide on how to watch the game and the key information.
The game is scheduled for a 5:10am (AEST) start on Sunday, August 26 at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.
The Pumas started strong against the South Africans last week, leading 14-10 at the halftime break before a late charge saw the Springboks surge to claim a 34-21 bonus-point win.
It was a promising sign for new coach Mario Ledesma, who only took charge of the club at the start of this month, although it marked Argentina’s 23rd loss in 29 Tests since the 2015 World Cup.
In an attempt to improve their chances in this weekend’s game, Argentina have eased their self-imposed restriction on European-based players, with four new faces set to take part in the match.
Jeronimo de la Fuente, Santiago Alvarez Fourcade, Facundo Bosch and Santiago Carreras will all suit up for the upcoming game.
Experienced Springbok Handre Pollard will be aiming to improve after the fly-half missed five of seven shots at goal in the 13-point victory.
Sunday morning’s clash will be exclusively shown to Foxtel subscribers on channel 501 following a replay of the All Blacks vs Wallabies game.
Coverage begins at 5am (AEST) with kick-off scheduled for a 5:10am start. The match will wrap up at approximately 7:30am.
There are two ways to watch Sunday morning’s match online.
Foxtel subscribers can stream the clash through the Foxtel App. The app is free to download, but only if you have a valid account.
If you are not a Foxtel customer, you can still tune into the game through Foxtel Now. This is a paid streaming-only service, with subscription packages available for purchase.
