Fringe Boks to show up

» Visitors need to treat tonight's Test as a 'final' because the Pumas still stand a chance in the Rugby Championship.

The Springboks are hoping to get the best out of their fringe players as they get an opportunity to shine in their Rugby Championship clash against Argentina in Santiago del Estero tonight (kick-off 11pm SA time).

A much changed team from the one that beat the All Blacks 18-12 in their previous match in Cape Town, was named for the penultimate game of the competition, with a number of back-up players earning a shot to impress.

Players who have been in the Bok set-up for years, such as Marco van Staden, Lukhanyo Am and Thomas du Toit get a start, while Manie Libbok will look to make a big impact off the bench.
