Argentina kept their hopes of winning the Rugby Championship alive when they edged world champions South Africa 29-28 on Saturday to temporarily deny the Springboks their first title since 2019.

With a return fixture to come next week, Erasmus has rested a couple of key figures, with Siya Kolisi in the coaches’ box rather than on the pitch as he manages a facial injury. Argentina may therefore spy an opportunity to cause a shock — the hosts are full of confidence after producing a record win against Australia a fortnight ago.

With one round to go in the Rugby Championship, we run through the permutations of the final weekend as the Springboks and Argentina hunt for the title.

Argentina has kept its hopes of winning the Rugby Championship alive by edging world champion South Africa 29-28 to temporarily deny the Springboks their first title since 2019.

Siya Kolisi has returned to South Africa after just a single season at Racing 92 after the Springboks skipper’s contract with the Paris club was cut short. Kolisi moved to the Top 14 on a lucrative three-year deal last summer, but struggled for form and fitness after joining up with Stuart Lancaster’s side.

South Africa are eager to seize the moment and clinch the Rugby Championship title in Argentina on Saturday, but are wary of a fired-up home side that are not out of contention themselves, according to Springboks loose forward Kwagga Smith.
