The Springboks are set to face a fired-up Argentina side in Durban this weekend, with head coach Rassie Erasmus warning that the Pumas remain a serious threat despite their narrow loss to New Zealand. Erasmus described the South American visitors as "dangerous" and highlighted the need for discipline, focus, and physicality from his squad.

Argentina, who pushed the All Blacks close in their previous outing, are expected to bring a full-strength squad and a physical, unpredictable style of play. The Springbok camp noted the importance of winning set pieces and managing the breakdown to blunt the Pumas’ momentum. The fixture also carries significance as both sides aim to build confidence ahead of the final rounds of the Rugby Championship.

After their historic thrashing of the All Blacks in Wellington, the Springboks are under pressure to deliver a clinical performance in front of a home crowd at Kings Park. Erasmus has called on his players to rise to the occasion and seize the initiative against what he called "one of the most passionate and resilient teams in world rugby."
