The omens are not on Argentina’s side tonight; South Africa have won the last eight meetings between these sides. The last time Argentina won this fixture was back in 2018 when they won 32-19. To put that into some perspective, South Africa have won two World Cups since. These two sides will meet each other in the final round next Saturday.

With a return fixture to come next week, Erasmus has rested a couple of key figures, with Siya Kolisi in the coaches’ box rather than on the pitch as he manages a facial injury. Argentina may therefore spy an opportunity to cause a shock — the hosts are full of confidence after producing a record win against Australia a fortnight ago.
