South Africa v Argentina in Rugby Championship — LIVE

It's the penultimate round of this year's Rugby Championship and both teams need a win to stay in the hunt for this season's title.


South Africa’s Springboks and Argentina’s Pumas clash in a Rugby Championship Test in Durban on Saturday with kick-off at 5.05pm.

Both teams are still in the hunt to win the title this year, having each won twice and lost twice. This is the penultimate round of action. The Boks and Pumas meet again in London next weekend, in their final match of the competition.

Bok boss Rassie Erasmus has stuck largely to the side that registered a record 43-10 score against the All Blacks in Wellington last time out.
