Every team in the Rugby Championship has two wins apiece as we go into the final two game weeks.

South Africa will host Argentina at Durban’s Kings Park Stadium with the Springboks a single point ahead of Los Pumas in the standings and just one behind leaders Australia.

The hosts were beaten at Eden Park against the All Blacks but turned it around in Wellington with an impressive 43-10 victory. However, Argentina will be confident of an upset having won their previous game 28-26 against Australia.

The match will kick-off at 5.10pm local time (3.10pm UK time) and will be streamed live on Sky Sports in the UK.

Speaking ahead of the game, South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus said: “This is a vital match for both us and the Pumas, and if one takes into consideration that they beat New Zealand and Australia in the first four rounds of the competition, as well as the British & Irish Lions earlier in the season, there’s no doubt we’ll treat them the respect they deserve.”

“They’ve made big strides in the last few seasons, and have an astute coach in Felipe Contepomi, so we know they are going to throw everything at us. Adding to that, they boast a strong forward pack and extremely talented backs, so they pose threats all around.”
