They face an Argentina side eager to bounce back after a disappointing second-half performance, out to recapture the form that saw them defeat Scotland in the July series.

It marks the first time Cheika will come up against his old side since his departure in 2019.

The round will open with the Springboks hosting the All Blacks in Johannesburg, with Ian Foster under serious pressure after last week's defeat.
