Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg hosts the Rugby Championship game today (29 July) between the Springboks and Los Pumas
A South Africa v Argentina live stream will be a hot ticket today (July 29). This article is here to help you watch the final round fixture of the 2023 Rugby Championship anywhere on the planet.
The Springboks go into the match needing a big favour from Australia, who must beat the All Blacks to give them a chance of snatching the Rugby Championship in the final round.
Below we explain how to watch South Africa v Argentina, including details on using ExpressVPN to watch wherever you are.
Due to the tournament being held in a Rugby World Cup year there’s only three rounds of action and both South Africa and Argentina have beaten Australia but lost to the All Blacks.
While Los Pumas have recorded wins over South Africa in 2018 and 2016, both were on home soil as their search for a first away win over the Boks continues.

There’s a spring in Argentina‘s step after a miraculous victory over the Wallabies a fortnight ago.
A late Mark Nawaqanitawase long-range interception try looked set to wrestle a home win for Eddie Jones’ side, but Los Pumas roared back and Juan Martin Gonzalez scored a late score to secure a 34-31 victory.
Meanwhile, the showdown between New Zealand and South Africa wasn’t quite as hotly contested as the All Blacks cruised to a 35-20 victory.
Early tries from scrum-half Aaron Smith and flanker Shannon Frizell, either side of a Richie Mo’unga penalty, put the All Blacks into an early 17-0 lead. The Springboks showed some fight after the break as Malcolm Marx and Cheslin Kolbe crossed – but the hosts were always comfortable to move a step closer to a 20th Rugby Championship/Tri Nations title.
Conditions are perfect for today’s game with temperatures expected to be around 21 degrees Celsius (69F) with no chance of rain.
