South Africa need to win with a bonus-point and hope Australia beat New Zealand
JOHANNESBURG: Argentina’s improved set-piece and use of the driving maul as a weapon will be dangers for South Africa in their Rugby Championship fixture at Ellis Park on Saturday, according to Springbok prop Trevor Nyakane.
"It’s going to be a tough game. Argentina are physical in the scrums, mauls and lineouts, so we have to man up," Nyakane told reporters on Wednesday. Argentina secured a late 34-31 victory over Australia in Sydney last time out and Nyakane says that win epitomises their opponents’ relentless fighting spirit.
The Boks know they are in for a battle up front, but they have also selected a side with exciting backs, and pace and guile aplenty.
