The Boks are still in a strong position to win the tournament but, they will need five points from the game and a better points difference than the All Blacks.

The Springboks selected their strongest possible team for the crunch match and there is a sense of confidence in the camp.

The Springboks will have the added advantage of knowing what the score was between the All Blacks and the Wallabies, and they will be about to target the points difference.

The Springbok flanker, Pieter-Steph du Toit, said they will target the bonus point.

“It's a big honour for me to be a part of the squad and especially to be able to play on Saturday,” said the former World Player of the Year.

“We need to win this match and get five points out of it, but luckily before the game we will know what New Zealand did against Australia.

“We are going to make plans and we will be well-prepared for Argentina, but we're not going to change too much.”

Saturday’s crucial Test at Kings’ Park in Durban kicks off at 17:05.
