With a return fixture to come next week, Erasmus has rested a couple of key figures, with Siya Kolisi in the coaches’ box rather than on the pitch as he manages a facial injury. Argentina may therefore spy an opportunity to cause a shock — the hosts are full of confidence after producing a record win against Australia a fortnight ago.

Argentina have made three changes to their squad, with Joaquin Oviedo being named in the starting 15 after his performance off the bench against Australia last time out. In the second row, Pedro Rubiolo and Franco Molina step in as the starting locks, replacing Guido Petti and Tomas Lavanini.

Siya Kolisi has returned to South Africa after just a single season at Racing 92 after the Springboks skipper’s contract with the Paris club was cut short. Kolisi moved to the Top 14 on a lucrative three-year deal last summer, but struggled for form and fitness after joining up with Stuart Lancaster’s side.
