Utility forwards Pieter-Steph du Toit (shoulder) and Ernst van Rhyn (elbow) were ruled out of the touring group through injury, while flank Siya Kolisi and prop Frans Malherbe will be rested as part of the Springbok management plan.

Loose forwards Jaco Coetzee and Sikhumbuzo Notshe have both recovered from injuries and will make the trip.

DHL Stormers Head Coach Robbie Fleck said that the players going to Argentina will be giving it everything to secure another win.

“We want to keep building on our recent performances and this is a great opportunity to do so away from home.

“We have a bye after this game before we are back at home, so we will be going flat-out this weekend in Buenos Aires,” he said.
