- A win would give South Africa back-to-back Rugby Championship titles for the first time.
- Rassie Erasmus retains the core of last week’s side, with Ox Nche returning to start after being a late withdrawal in Durban.
- Argentina make several changes, including a rookie halfback pairing of Simón Benítez Cruz at scrum-half and Gerónimo Prisciantelli at fly-half.
- Springbok coaches urge an 80-minute, accurate performance and fewer soft penalties, noting Argentina’s tendency to rebound strongly after defeats.
