The Rugby Championship is on a knife’s edge heading into Round 5.
Just two points separate first-place Australia (11 points) from last-place Argentina (9 points), a Los Pumas-Springboks clash in Durban could help decide the title race.
South Africa bounced back with a dominant win over New Zealand last week, while Argentina remains a dangerous opponent after upsetting the All Blacks earlier in the tournament.
Both teams know a bonus-point victory could be the difference between lifting the trophy and finishing mid-table.
