Springboks unchanged side with two enforced changes vs Argentina

The Springboks have named a largely unchanged side and assembled in Durban to prepare for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash with Argentina at Hollywoodbets Kings Park, with coach Rassie Erasmus making two enforced changes to the starting XV after injuries suffered in the 43-10 win over New Zealand. The match kicks off at 17:10 local time, with a return meeting at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, on October 4.

Erasmus confirmed that lock Lood de Jager and fullback Aphelele Fassi will miss the Durban fixture after picking up injuries in Wellington, opening the door for veteran Eben Etzebeth to return in the second row and for Damian de Allende to come into midfield.

The matchday 23 reflects Erasmus's faith in the group that produced New Zealand's heaviest ever defeat. The starting line-up lists Willemse at 15, Cheslin Kolbe 14, Canan Moodie 13, de Allende 12, Ethan Hooker 11, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu 10, Cobus Reinach...
