Argentina closed in on the Springboks in the Rugby Championship title race after Saturday's shock result. Here is how the standings look with one round to go.

South Africa can clinch the Rugby Championship with a game to spare this weekend. The world champion Springboks face Argentina in Santiago del Estero on Saturday.

South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus refused to blame Manie Libbok for the surprise 29-28 Rugby Championship defeat in Argentina on Saturday after the flyhalf missed a kick from virtually in front of the posts to win the game.

The Springboks go into next week’s match at the Mbombela Stadium with a five point lead at the top of the standings. They basically need a point to win their first Rugby Championship title since 2019.

The Springboks let a 17-point lead slip as Argentina showed their class with a superb 29-28 comeback victory in Santiago to keep the race for the Rugby Championship title alive.
