Andre next to Wunderkind for Argentina

Rassie has kept 12 players back in SA to train with Tony Brown. He is using the test in Argentina to give players returning from injury a game before the All Black games start. Both Lood de Jager and Eben Etzebeth have copped long bans plus injury layoffs – so expect at least one to play no more than 50 minutes. Andre Esterhuizen, Ethan Hooker, Morne van den Berg, Sacha FM and Siya Kolisi all return from injury either having little game time or no Bok games this season.

I really hope Aphelele Fassi can settle the nerves. At the moment he is almost trying too hard to make an impact and is not really making an impact from the back.

Argentina lost to both Scotland and England and managed to beat Wales in the Nations Championship games. They did manage to score 5 tries against Scotland and 3 against England. The Boks will have to play well to win. They will need to cut down on the errors and stupid penalties that had no effect against a poor Welsh team – Argentina will punish those.
