South Africa is looking to replace the All Blacks as Rugby Championship leaders by defeating Argentina for a second time tomorrow.

The All Blacks top the Springboks on points difference after both secured bonus-point victories last weekend in the opening round.

New Zealand scored eight tries to hammer Australia 57-22 in Auckland last weekend before Elton Jantjies kicked 17 points as South Africa ground out a 32-12 victory over Argentina.

Springboks coach Jacques Nienaber says they were pleased to start their Rugby Championship campaign on a winning note but there is a lot of room for improvement.

He says they have identified a few areas they need to work on if they want to defend their title successfully, and they have worked on those aspects of their game at training this week.

Nienaber adds the Pumas play with a lot of passion, so they will want to show their fighting spirit, which will set the scene for another challenging match between the two nations.

The Springboks will face Argentina at 3.05am tomorrow.
