They also defeated the Pumas in the 2015 Rugby World Cup in October, winning 24-13 at the Olympic Stadium, London, to claim third place.Despite losing their last two matches, Argentina have claimed huge scalps in recent times, notably South Africa and France.The Pumas are deadly at home and the Boks will be fully aware of their quality with a partisan crowd behind the hosts.The visitors make one amendment to their side for their trip across the Atlantic asVincent Kock replaces the injured Julian Redelinghuys, whodamaged a hamstring against Argentina in the first matchin Nelspruit, South Africa.Lourens Adriaanse takesKock's spot on the bench.Morne Steyn is also included among the replacements in place of Juan de Jongh, adding to his side's kicking options if needed late in the contest.Springboks head coach Allister Coetzee has leaned towards consistency and continuity in order to gain successive wins, and he lauded Kock and Steynahead of the trip abroad.Per Planet Rugby, he said:Vincent [Kock] did very well when he came on as a replacement for Julian in Nelspruit, and he is rewarded with a starting berth, while we believe it would be good to give Lourens an opportunity on the bench at this stage.We expect them to try and put us under pressure with their tactical kicking. Morne is an experienced player with good kicking attributes, and he will provide an additional kicking cover for us.We will continue to build on our cohesion as a team. This is the first away Test for this side and we expect another huge battle against the Pumas.Argentina will feel they deserved to beat South Africa atNelspruit and will want revenge in their backyard.In years gone by, this game would have been a one-sided affair, but the Pumas have progressed to become an entertaining rugby nation in their own right.SouthAfrica will look toreplicatetheir game plan once more, but Argentina's mix of flair and kicking could produce an upset.The South Africans needed two tries in the last 10 minutes to claim the win last week, and if they are shy of the try once again, the hosts will take them to task and win the day.Prediction: Argentina 18-14 South Africa
