South Africa vs Argentina LIVE: Teams, results and latest updates from the Rugby Championship decider in Mbombela

South Africa hosts Argentina today for a crucial showdown in the final game of the Rugby Championship in Mbomela.

The final game of the championship is the opposite of last week’s game in South America, where Los Pumas brought the tournament into its final day with a thrilling 29-28 win over the Springboks.

Argentina will be aware that repeating this away result is an incredibly difficult task and they go into the final knowing that they need a bonus point win over South Africa if they are to win the competition for the first time. By now the Springboks know that all they need is a win, a draw or a single bonus point to win the competition for the first time since 2019.
