Nick Mallett | Springbok failure against Pumas is a ghastly thought, but it won't happen

It would be a major shock if the Springboks aren't able to get their World Cup preparations back on track with a victory over Argentina this weekend. But there's enough evidence to suggest the team is dead keen on getting on the winning trail again, writes Nick Mallett.

As we approach the final home Test of 2023, let me state something from the outset: It will be a massive shock if the Springboks can't beat Argentina at Ellis Park on Saturday.

However, if that comes over as a bit alarmist, don't worry, because Jacques Nienaber and Rassie Erasmus have got it right with their selections and strategies for the game.
