Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus knows that his team will be under pressure if they lose the final warm-up Test against Argentina ahead of the Greatest Rivalry tour against the All Blacks.
The Springboks will discover who is truly ready to face the All Blacks when they take on Argentina next weekend in their final warm-up Test before the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour gets underway.
For now, despite New Zealand naming their touring squad and the hype surrounding the four-Test series steadily building, the Boks’ focus remains firmly on their trip to South America, where they will aim to stay unbeaten in 2026 and build further momentum ahead of the blockbuster clashes with their old rivals.
The world champions and Los Pumas meet in Buenos Aires, with the hosts naming a squad that blends an experienced core with several exciting new faces. While Argentina have opted to inject fresh energy into their group, they still possess enough seasoned campaigners to pose a significant threat to their visitors.
Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus has taken note of the revamped Argentine squad, warning that they will be as dangerous as ever when the sides meet next Saturday. Erasmus is expected to field a strong match-day 23, with several senior players returning from injury in a bid to build valuable match fitness ahead of the All Blacks series.
