It's hard to know exactly where South Africa stand as they defend their world crown later in the year, but that's exactly what head coach Jacques Nienaber and director of rugby Rassie Erasmus want. From the opening round 43-12 thumping of Australia to the defeat to New Zealand last time out, the Springboks have fielded almost entirely different sides to keep their opponents guessing before the big one in the autumn. Thought 20-3 behind at half time against the All Blacks, Nienaber's side produced a spirited second-half comeback, scoring three tries to add a degree of respectability to the score. Part of the improvement was bright young thing Grant Williams at scrum half, who is expected to make his first senior international start on Saturday after impressing off the bench in Auckland. There are likely to be changes elsewhere, though, with full back Willie Le Roux the only member of the backline expected to keep his place. Captain Duane Vermeulen should return at number eight to lead world rugby's most ferocious pack.
Argentina's forwards once had a claim at that particular crown, but a new generation is still finding its feet. That being said, the Pumas came of age in scoring a 78th-minute try to beat Australia 34-31 in their own back yard – for the first time in their history – two weeks ago in what will go down as one of their greatest performances. They can, however, still count on hooker and skipper since 2000 Julian Montoya, who is still only 29, while back-row matchwinner Juan Martin Gonzalez will soon link up with English Premiership side Saracens after his heroics at the death last weekend. Head coach Michael Cheika knows he's got a big task ahead of him in this one, but the Australian revels in being the underdog and knows that in full back Emiliano Boffelli he can count on one of the most consistent place kickers in world rugby.
