Springboks on the cusp of making history as they face Argentina in final game of the 2024 Rugby Championship

The Weekend View

It's another bumber sporting Saturday with the highly anticipated Betway Premiership clash between Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Kick off is at 3pm. TODAY's highlight is the Rugby Championship clash between the Springboks and Argentina in Mbombela, a match that promises to be historic for both South African rugby and lock Eben Etzebeth. The fixture will not only decide the tournament champion but will also see Etzebeth become the most capped Springbok in history, earning his 128th Test cap, surpassing Victor Matfield's record of 127. The Boks suffered a heart-breaking 29-28 defeat against the Pumas in Santiago del Estero last weekend ending South Africa's unbeaten run in the championship. Springboks head coach Rassie Erasmus earlier THIS WEEK announced his matchday starting line up that included several key players who were rested for the previous match against Argentina. The match kicks off at 5pm. Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Braam Van Straaten, a former Bok who played for the Springboks between 1999 and 2001
