Overview
- The Kings Park Test kicks off Saturday at 12:10 (Argentina time) in Durban, with live coverage on ESPN and Disney+.
- Felipe Contepomi makes three changes up front: Franco Molina for Guido Petti, Lucas Paulos for Pedro Rubiolo, and Pablo Matera for Juan Martín González.
- Argentina load the reserves with six forwards and two backs, a strategic move Contepomi says is aimed at finishing strong against the Springboks' pack.
- South Africa name a near-unchanged side that hammered New Zealand in Wellington, with Eben Etzebeth and Damian de Allende back in the starting lineup.
- With the table separated by two points from first to fourth, Los Pumas need to take points in Durban; Angus Gardner will referee before the return leg on 4 October at Twickenham.
