Argentina vs South Africa Preview


Both sides will make changes from their encounter last weekend, but with Los Pumas being at home, and South Africa selecting fringe players, I am tipping Argentina to get very close again, if not win.

  • Argentina have covered the +5 handicap in their last 2 matches.
  • Argentina lost to South Africa by 1 point last week.
  • South Africa have failed to cover the +5 handicap in their last 2 matches.

Head to Head


South Africa have won their last seven matches against Argentina. Last week the Springboks won by just a point against Los Pumas at home.

Argentina Form


Argentina will be satisfied with their Rugby Championship performance. Their only real disappointment will be their heavy loss in round one to New Zealand at home.

Los Pumas however then traveled to Australia to secure a narrow win, before just losing out last week to South Africa. Had their goalkicking been better the result could have been very different.

Argentina Injuries & News


Argentina will certainly make changes to the side that played last week. They are also likely to play around with some combinations.

South Africa Form


South Africa will be disappointed with their Rugby Championship performance over the last month. They started like a house on fire, annihilating Australia on home soil.

They failed to back that promise up, struggling against New Zealand and eventually going down 35-20 away. They returned home last week to put in a very poor showing against Los Pumas, just managing to win 22-21.

With the World Cup around the corner, the Springboks will need to find some consistency to their game. They need to put three + big performances in against good sides.

South Africa Injuries & News


Jacques Nienaber has again made wholesale changes to his side this week. Many of the players going will be playing for their place on the plane to France.

Verdict

Argentina are backed to cover the +5 handicap and pull off a win.
