What channel is Argentina v South Africa Rugby World Cup warm-up match on? Kick-off time, TV details and live stream
Check out how to watch Argentina v South Africa in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match, including TV details and more.
Argentina and South Africa will clash once again - this time in a World Cup warm-up match - after they closely battled in the Rugby Championship on 29th July.
South Africa managed to pip Michael Cheika's side by a single point, with the game ending 22-21. If Argentina had pulled off the win, it would have been their first victory over South Africa since 2018.
Coach Cheika had fighting talk after the showdown as well, saying: "We can't wait to play the rematch, because the group is in a very good physical and mental moment."
The win for South Africa meant they finished as Rugby Championship runners-up, behind New Zealand, and they will be looking to build on that ahead of the World Cup start in September.
Head coach Jacques Nienaber has named Bongi Mbonambi as the captain for Saturday's match. It will be the first time the experienced hooker, who will win his 60th cap against Argentina, has skippered the side.
Nienaber, who will step down as the Springboks head coach after the World Cup, said: “This is going to be a massive physical battle and there will be a lot of pressure on the players mentally and physically, which is exactly the type of situation we would like to see them in as we enter our World Cup warm-up games.”
