Cape Town - The Springboks go into Saturday’s Rugby Championship Test against Argentina in Salta with a healthy head-to-head record.
In 25 Tests played between the nations since 1993, the Boks have won 22, lost two and drawn one.
In Rugby Championship action since Argentina joined the competition in 2012, the teams have played 10 Tests, with South Africa winning seven, losing two and sharing the spoils once.
Los Pumas will however be buoyed by the fact that they beat the Boks 26-24 in Salta last year.
Kick-off for Saturday's clash is scheduled for 17:05 (SA time).
