As the Springboks touch down in Argentina, coach Rassie Erasmus has insisted they need to be wary of the threats posed by the Pumas.
The Springboks left for Argentina on Saturday, flying via Sao Paulo before travelling to Buenos Aires. The squad will then make the trip to Santiago del Estero on Wednesday night.After next weekend’s clash, they will meet again at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit on Saturday 28 September in the closing match of the tournament, where the winner of the Rugby Championship will be crowned.
Erasmus added: “I think it will come down to preparation, who pitches up the best on the day, and which side is the most desperate because I don’t think there’s much separating the teams.” “The journey to Argentina is a bit of a stretch, but at least we’ve done some work on them, so when we arrive there on Sunday hopefully, we can hit the ground running.”Props: Thomas du Toit , Vincent Koch , Ox Nche , Gerhard Steenekamp .Locks: Eben Etzebeth , Nicolaas Janse van Rensburg , Salmaan Moerat , Ruan Nortje .
