The penultimate round of the 2025 Round Championship sees South Africa play host to Argentina at Durban on Saturday.

South Africa, the Rugby World Cup winners and defending champions, are second in the table with 10 points, one behind Australia. They have changed two personnel in the starting XV from their 43-10 victory over the New Zealand All Blacks in Wellington.

Lood de Jager and Aphelele Fassi are injured, which led to forced changes at lock and fullback with Eben Etzebeth and Damian Willemse replacing the duo.

Argentina, meanwhile, are just two points behind the leaders, Australia. The Pumas are also dangerous, having beaten both the Wallabies and the All Blacks in this competition.

In 34 head-to-head games between the sides, the Springboks have dominated with 30 wins, losing just 3, and one ending in a draw.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match and kickoff time.
