With the final Rugby Championship test against Argentina only one more day away, the Springboks took part in their captain’s run at Mbombela Stadium this morning, September 27.

The Springboks have been in Mbombela since Sunday, September 22, carrying out their preparations for the looming Battle of Mbombela on September 28. The clash with Argentina will serve as a final for the 2024 Rugby Championship, as both sides are in with a chance to clinch the title this weekend.

The boys in green and gold have also been taking their time adjusting to the Lowveld heat, even getting to enjoy a rest day on Thursday, September 26. Today, however, they gathered at Southern Sun Emnotweni for their team photos before they headed back to Mbombela Stadium for their last training session ahead of the test.
