One could base an argument on the fact that it really is going to be a walk in the park, but that is not necessarily so.
In 2012 the Springboks beat the Pumas 27-6 in Cape Town , but drew the away game. I can still remember the latter game - it was one of the worst performances by Fat Franasie and Morne3 imaginable. Fat Fransie tried a relief kick deep in the Springboks 22 and the ball roll along the ground putting the whole team off-side. Just one of the string of disasters involving the two.
In 2013 the Springboks at home 73-6 - but in the away game they struggled in theaway game winning 22-17,
In 2014 the Springboks managed to win both games - 13 - 6 at hole and 33 - 31 away. Both games were jokes with Jannie du Plessis, Steenkamp and Beast showing their retreat in scrums can be at jet speed. The two lucky wins showed the decline in Springbok rugby commencing.
There4 was only 1 game between SA and Arge3ntina in in Durban where the Springboks were beaten badly (37-25). The aged veterans of Meyer was the main reason for the poor performance of the Springboks - the same happe3ned against Japan a few months later.
However, based on the past it is not clear what will happen on Saturday, What is clear i9s that the away games against the Argentinians is more difficult than the home games.
