springboks chasing rugby championship history against argentina

The Springboks are on the verge of history as they take on Argentina in the Rugby Championship , in the northern city of Santiago del Estero on Saturday.

Kick-off is at 11pm SA time. The men in green and gold are poised to win the tournament for just the second time in their history, since the Tri-Nations became the Rugby Championship in 2012 with the addition of Argentina.

A win against Los Pumas would see the Springboks claim the title with a match to spare.

Though South Africa won it for the first time in 2019, it was with the disclaimer that it was a shortened competition. Each side played just three games to accommodate the Rugby World Cup, which of course the Springboks went on to win.

New role for Kolisi

Winning a full schedule Rugby Championship is undisputedly a greater challenge, and would come as another incredible achievement for this Springbok team led by skipper Siya Kolisi and coach Rassie Erasmus .
