Show Preview
South Africa are out to end their stop-start Rugby Championship form as they head to Buenos Aires to take on Argentina in an all-South American showdown Join The Roar for live scores from 5:10am (AEST).
Jacques Nienaber has backed in the XV that crushed the Wallabies in Sydney once again, though Faf de Klerk has been recalled on the bench after being dropped following their loss in Adelaide.
With a series of injuries affecting key players, most notably Lukhanyo Am and Handre Pollard, it’s a below-strength but still imposing Springboks outfit that will battle a Pumas outfit arguably in its best-ever form.
Wins over Australia and the All Blacks – the latter their first ever against the rugby powerhouse – hasn’t stopped Michael Cheika from ringing the changes following their disastrous capitulation in their second Test in New Zealand.
There are seven new inclusions in all across the field, with the backs in particular looking extremely different.
The Pumas have been formidable at home in recent times, pipping Scotland in a thrilling series before putting the Wallabies to the sword in the second Test. Taking down the world champions would be yet another scalp for their burgeoning pelt.
