Argentina’s men’s rugby union national team, the Pumas, are set to take on their South African counterpart, the Springboks, in a test match this Saturday.
The duel is part of a set of test matches that will see Argentina host South Africa once and Australia twice. It’s set to kick off at 4 p.m. Argentina time, at the José Amalfitani Stadium in Buenos Aires.
Argentina is coming off its first round of games in the Nations Championship, the biannual competition that sees teams from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres compete for rugby dominance.
The Pumas hosted three games, beating Wales and losing to England and Scotland, but will have to prepare for the November games.
The squad put forward by Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi features several key absentees, and plenty of new names.
