Cape Town - All four squads have been named for the upcoming Rugby Championship, starting on Saturday, August 18.
The Rugby Championship, previously called the Tri-Nations, is now in its 23rd year.
The All Blacks have triumphed in 15 of the previous 22 tournaments, the Wallabies on four occasions and the Springboks three times.
Argentina, added to the tournament in 2012, are yet to taste success and have in fact finished bottom of the standings in five of their six campaigns to date.
