With one round to go in the Rugby Championship, we run through the permutations of the final weekend as the Springboks and Argentina hunt for the title.

Manie Libbok’s missed penalty with a minute remaining meant that Argentina continued their excellent Rugby Championship campaign by adding a win over South Africa to their record victory over Australia and triumph in New Zealand earlier in the tournament.

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.

South Africa can clinch the Rugby Championship with a game to spare this weekend. The world champion Springboks face Argentina in Santiago del Estero on Saturday.

South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus refused to blame Manie Libbok for the surprise 29-28 Rugby Championship defeat in Argentina on Saturday after the flyhalf missed a kick from virtually in front of the posts to win the game.

Rassie Erasmus will make changes to his matchday 23 as the Springboks look to clinch the Rugby Championship title.

A late penalty could have won them the game, but South Africa can still win the title if they get one point from the return match next week.

The Springboks go into next week’s match at the Mbombela Stadium with a five point lead at the top of the standings. They basically need a point to win their first Rugby Championship title since 2019.

The Springboks let a 17-point lead slip as Argentina showed their class with a superb 29-28 comeback victory in Santiago to keep the race for the Rugby Championship title alive.
