South Africa begin their preparations for welcoming New Zealand in Buenos Aires as they face Argentina.

The Springboks finished the summer section of the Nations Championship with three wins from three and have now gone almost a year since their last defeat — a 22-38 loss to Australia. But August brings the Greatest Rivalry Tour, and with it, the chance to beat New Zealand on their own turf.

Before any of that, though, they travel to Argentina for a warm-up game against a side that looked somewhat out of sorts in July. Los Pumas lost two of their three Nations Championship matches, including a damaging 38-47 defeat to Gregor Townsend’s Scotland. Few challenges come tougher than the Springboks, and with Rassie Erasmus naming a strong side, the writing may already be on the wall.

Among those starting for South Africa are a familiar collection of names, including Siya Kolisi, Eben Etzebeth and the now-definitive first-choice fly-half Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.
