Después de la victoria en el debut en el Personal Rugby Championship, los Springboks ya emprendieron viaje a Buenos Aires con el objetivo de conseguir otro triunfo para pelear por el título con Nueva Zelanda.
Ross Cronje no pudo viajar por lesión y en su reemplazo lo hizo Jano Vermaak, que luchará por un lugar con Francois Houggard y Rudy Paige. Además, Oupa Mohoje se lesionó con Cheetahs en la Currie Cup y por eso tampoco fue tenido en cuenta.
