The Springboks are finding their rhythm, with strong defensive play and powerful forward carries. Under Rassie Erasmus, the team blends raw strength with structured strategy, and their kicking game remains one of the best. Key players like Siya Kolisi, Damian Willemse, and Malcolm Marx will be crucial in breaking New Zealand’s defense. A win in Wellington would keep their title defense hopes alive. On the bench, the Springboks have a 5-3 split, with scrumhalf Williams, flyhalf Manie Libbok, and center Andre Esterhuizen as the three backs.

Argentina has made three changes and needs to win to maintain their hopes of winning the championship. However there was a turn of event for them has they recorded a loss to Argentina by a narrow margin of 26-28. Pablo Matera, a flanker who could have a big impact later, is moved to the bench and replaced in the starting pack by Joaquin Oviedo. Franco Molina is replaced in the second row by Guido Petti, and winger Bautista Delguy is replaced by Rodrigo Isgro. The fly-half Argentina will depend on Santiago Carreras once more in Sydney after he was crucial last weekend, particularly in the first half. Argentina will be seeking retribution in the Rugby Championship following a close 28–24 defeat to Australia in Townsville. Australia scored a try in the 85th minute to seal the victory, but the Pumas were on the verge of a historic triumph in Townsville. After significant victories earlier in the tournament, including a convincing victory over the All Blacks, Argentina enters this game with confidence. The Pumas, led by Felipe Contepomi, play a clever and physical game.
