The Springboks head to Santiago with one goal in mind: winning the 2024 Rugby Championship and a victory over Argentina will do just that.
Rassie Erasmus’ charges have gone four from four so far in the tournament but face an unpredictable Los Pumas team that has beaten and lost to the All Blacks and Australia so far this campaign. In fact, Argentina have never beaten all three opponents in the same tournament before and will not only use that as motivation but mathematically, they are still in the running for the title.
This all makes for another enticing battle between the two mighty rugby nations with a hostile crowd set to only add to what promises to be an epic occasion.
As he has done repeatedly this campaign, Erasmus has made wholesale changes to his starting with just five Springboks starting this Test match from the one that defeated the All Blacks in Cape Town.
Meanwhile, Los Pumas head coach Felipe Contepomi has kept changes to a minimum after thrashing Australia 67-27 last time out and has simply freshened up his pack for what lies ahead.
Matches between these two nations are usually feisty affairs and we expect no different; even in the blistering heat which is expected to reach over 35 degrees. planetrugby.com
