Argentina vs South Africa prediction
After a fairly disappointing start to their Nations Championship campaign, Argentina will look to put in a positive performance against the world champions in this one-test face-off.
The Pumas lost to both Scotland and England last month, either side of a win against struggling Wales, and will now seek just a fifth-ever win against South Africa.
For the Boks, this will very much be a case of players competition for starting spots ahead of the much-anticipated 'Rugby's Greatest Rivalry' series against New Zealand, which starts later in the month.
Rassie Erasmus' side made a typically dominant start to the Nations Championship last month, recording bonus-point victories against England, Scotland and Wales, and they are clearly the team to beat right now.
Three of Argentina's four triumphs over the Boks have come on home turf, but the world champions look a cut above the rest right now and we're expecting them to record a comfortable win here.
Argentina vs South Africa tip: South Africa -17.5
