The Springboks, led by captain Siya Kolisi, make significant changes, with nine alterations, including the return of several double Rugby World Cup winners - Bongi Mbonambi, Frans Malherbe, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Cheslin Kolbe, Damian de Allende and Kolisi.
Eben Ezebteth will start at No. 4 lock, and his appearance will make him the most-capped Springboks player of all time, an honor that will be especially emotional at home.
Argentina will start Juan Martin Gonzalez and Santiago Grodona in place of Pablo Matera and Marcos Kremer. Most importantly, though, Tomas Albornoz continues his place at the No. 10 spot. Albornoz was pivotal in Argentina's win last week.
