Springbok loose forward dynamo Kwagga Smith says a huge challenge awaits the world champions against Argentina.
With four wins on the trot, two coming against their biggest rivals, the All Blacks, the world champion Boks may just be the favourites this weekend.
Springbok loose forward dynamo Kwagga Smith says the team are champing at the bit to possibly seal the Rugby Championship title when they take on Argentina at the Estadio Unico Madre Ciudades Stadium in Santiago on Saturday., and with a final game to go in Mbombela next weekend, Smith admits that they won’t be looking too far ahead as they know the danger the hosts will pose this weekend.
“But it’s going to be a tough competition this weekend because Argentina is also in the running to win the competition for the first time, so they’ll be really desperate. But Smith said that they had taken some good learnings out of their wins against New Zealand and that they still had to be careful and play as a team if they wanted to triumph over the hosts, who will likely field a battled-hardened and grizzled team.
