Prop Ox Nche returning to front row for Springboks’ Argentina clash


Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus has made four changes to the match day 23 for Saturday’s Rugby Championship decider against Argentina at Twickenham in London.

The team to face Los Pumas sees the return of Ox Nche to the starting team, as well as Grant Williams, Jesse Kriel and Bongi Mbonambi on the bench.

Nche, the loosehead prop, is back and will pack down in the front row with Malcolm Marx and Thomas du Toit.

The three new players on the replacements bench, which features a split of five forwards and three backs, are Williams at scrumhalf, Mbonambi at hooker and Kriel as a utility back.

Springboks moved to the top of the Rugby Championship standings with a comprehensive 67-30 victory over Argentina in Durban last weekend.

Bok flyhalf, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, contributed 37 points, which included a hat-trick, as South Africa ran in nine tries to three.
