It will be the teams’ first encounter in the southern hemisphere showpiece on neutral ground.

The Pumas will be the third external opponent the world champions, Springboks, face at the iconic stadium in the last three seasons.

They beat New Zealand in a Rugby World Cup warm-up match in 2023 and Wales last season.

Adding to the significance, the match will also be the last match of the 2025 campaign, meaning it could potentially be a championship decider.

The Springboks beat the Pumas in the championship decider at the Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga province last year.
