South Africa won the World Cup last year and they are reasserting their dominance at the Rugby Championship. With four wins from four so far, the Springboks hold an eight-point advantage in top spot with just two rounds of games remaining. One more victory would be enough for South Africa to claim the trophy and they are strong favourites to overcome Argentina this weekend, even though Rassie Erasmus has left seven important players back home.

To the surprise of many, Argentina are second in the standings right now. They thrashed Australia last time out, running out 67-27 winners in a stunning match in which saw they overturned a 17-point deficit. It was Argentina's biggest ever win at this tournament and they are now looking to give South Africa a bloody nose in round five.
