What do South Africa and Argentina need in final round to win title? - The Pumas’ dramatic win over the Springboks on the penultimate weekend kept them in the hunt

Argentina, traditionally known for indiscipline on the rugby field, has remarkably turned their reputation around in the 2023 Rugby Championship. They are the only team without a red or yellow card and have conceded the fewest penalties.

Argentina has kept its hopes of winning the Rugby Championship alive by edging world champion South Africa 29-28 to temporarily deny the Springboks their first title since 2019.

Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus is not taking Argentina lightly despite the odds being stacked up against Los Pumas to win the Rugby Championship.

Argentina vs. South Africa in the 2024 Rugby Championship kicks off at 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 21. This fixture takes place at Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades. You can live stream the 2024 Rugby Championship for free on NZR+, including Argentina vs. South Africa.

Argentina had a well-deserved reputation for indiscipline on the rugby field that often cost them dearly in test encounters, but this year they have turned that on its head in the Rugby Championship.

The Rugby Championship title is on the line as South Africa host Argentina in Mbombela. The Springboks begin the final round of fixtures five points clear of their opponents and will win the tournament if they secure even a losing bonus point on home soil.
