Springbok loosehead prop Ox Nche knows that if is he going to enjoy celebratory chocolate cake tomorrow night in Santiago del Estero (11pm kick-off, SA time), he is going to have to go blow for blow with some of the best scrummagers in the Rugby Championship.
The Boks are in the northern Argentinian city on a mission to land their first Championship title since 2019.
Coach Rassie Erasmus has revamped his team for the match, and Nche forms a front row with Malcolm Marx and tighthead prop Thomas du Toit.
Weve mentioned during the week in our team meetings that if you come to Argentina, its pretty similar to South Africa in terms of crowd noise, Nche said.
The only difference is probably the language. Otherwise, it feels like home.
