Watch South Africa vs Argentina at Rugby Championship 2024, with round six set to take place this weekend. Below we have all the info on how to watch South Africa vs Argentina from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Argentina edged out South Africa 29-28 in a thrilling contest last weekend. It was not only a magnificent match but a significant one too, as Argentina's victory kept their hopes of glory alive. A win or draw for South Africa on Saturday would see them crowned champions. Argentina would lift the trophy if they triumph in Mbombela, earn a try-scoring bonus point and prevent the Springboks from securing a bonus point of their own. The Pumas would then be tied on points with South Africa, but would top the table by virtue of having beaten their rivals twice. 

The Springboks remain strong favourites, not least because they have home advantage behind them in the final round of fixtures. South Africa have the physical edge and that should get them over the line, particularly as a point would do. But Argentina have demonstrated throughout this tournament that they should not be underestimated.
