Cape Town – The Springboks go into Saturday’s Rugby Championship Test against Argentina in Port Elizabeth with a healthy head-to-head record.

In 24 Tests played between the nations since 1993, the Boks have won 21, lost two and drawn one.

In Rugby Championship action since Argentina joined the competition in 2012, the teams have played nine Tests, with South Africa winning six, losing two and sharing the spoils once.

Los Pumas will however be buoyed by the fact that their two wins came recently.

In 2015, they beat the Boks for the first time when they won 37-25 in Durban, while they followed that up with a 26-24 win in Salta last year.

Kick-off for Saturday’s clash is scheduled for 17:05 (SA time).
