Argentina v South Africa LIVE: Latest updates as Springboks clash with Pumas

A soft concession, really, for South Africa, with Cameron Hanekom needleslly high in that challenge. It was clumsy rather than reckless but it’s given Argentina an in.

The Springboks go to work in attack for the first time with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu threatening on the counter. Edwill van der Merwe and Andre Esterhuizen get themselves in a muddle, though, and knock-on.

Straight and true from Argentina’s fly half. Santiago Carreras gets Argentina going.

The crowd jeer as Cameron Hanekom’s tackle slides up over the shoulders of Faustino Sanchez Valarolo. High tackle, penalty to Argentina, and Santiago Carreras points at the posts.

Andre Esterhuizen takes the opening kick off and immediately makes five metres, using a shimmy and then his sheer size.

Cobus Reinach sends up a first box kick, which is safely claimed by Geronimo Prisciantelli.

A peep of Christophe Ridley’s whistle and away we go!

Right, here we go. Springboks and Pumas dance again – can Argentina spring a shock and snap South Africa’s winning streak?

A brass band provide entertaining accompaniment to the two anthems. There’s not quite the atmosphere that England faced in Santiago del Estero, for obvious reasons, but the Argentine crowd give full-throated backing to their team.

Out the Springboks come, striding up the steps and out into the Buenos Aires air. Siya Kolisi, as always, has hugs and backslaps for his squad as he welcomes each of them into the line.

The vastly-experienced Pablo Matera leads Argentina out. He’ll be a vital figure today, you’d think, with a few other older heads missing.

Argentina have a Jenga tower in their dressing room. No better way to relax pre-match? A strange one.

The Estadio Jose Amalfitani isn’t particularly near full, though it is a pleasant enough evening in Buenos Aires – 13 degrees and the sun shining.
