Springboks’ Road to Redemption: Key Changes Expected for Upcoming Argentina Match

After suffering a disappointing defeat to the All Blacks, the Springboks are gearing up for their upcoming match against Argentina on the 29th of July. With key changes expected to be made to the team’s lineup, here’s a closer look at which players might be replaced for the critical game.

Makazole Mapimpi

During the match against the All Blacks, winger Makazole Mapimpi appeared to be off his game, while Kurt-Lee Arendse has been showcasing his skills in his test career. This could mean that Arendse might take over Mapimpi’s position on the left wing.

Damian Willemse

Damian Willemse’s performance as a flyhalf may be put on hold, and specialist flyhalf Manie Libbok could be given the No. 10 jersey for the final match of the Rugby Championship.

Jasper Wiese

No. 8 Jasper Wiese had a forgettable performance against the All Blacks, and he may have to wait for the World Cup warm-up games for another chance. Duane Vermeulen is expected to take over as the starting eighthman when they face Argentina.

Kwagga Smith

Kwagga Smith worked tirelessly against the All Blacks, but he might be more effective as a member of the bomb squad. As a result, either Marco van Staden or Deon Fourie could be given an opportunity to fill the No. 6 jersey in the upcoming Argentina match.

Bongi Mbonambi

Bongi Mbonambi’s underwhelming performance in New Zealand may lead to a rotation in the No. 2 jersey, with Malcolm Marx expected to take over for the Argentina game.

All Blacks vs Springboks

Looking back at the match against the All Blacks, several key players played a significant role in their victory, including Beauden Barrett, Richie Mo’unga, and Aaron Smith. Their substitutes also made an impact.

Springboks’ Starting Lineup

The Springboks’ starting lineup for the All Blacks match consisted of Willie le Roux, Cheslin Kolbe, Lukhanyo Am, Damian de Allende, Makazole Mapimpi, Damian Willemse, and Faf de Klerk. Their replacements included Malcolm Marx, Thomas du Toit, Vincent Koch, RG Snyman, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Duane Vermeulen, Grant Williams, and Manie Libbok.

Road to Redemption

As the Springboks prepare for their match against Argentina, fans are hoping for a strong comeback following their recent defeat. With essential adjustments to the team’s lineup, there is a chance for the Springboks to regain their footing and make a powerful statement in the world of rugby.
