Can the Pumas spring a major upset and beat the Springboks to the title?
The Rugby Championship title will be decided in Mbombela this weekend, and you won’t want to miss a second of the action. This guide explains how you can watch South Africa v Argentina live streams on Saturday evening – including details of how you can use a VPN to watch the match if you’re away from home.
Kick-off: 4.00pm BST / 5.00pm SAST / 11.00am ET, Saturday 28 September
Watch the match for free: NZR+ (Netherlands, Belgium and more)
Few would have predicted that the Pumas would still be in contention for the Rugby Championship on the final day. But victories against the All Blacks, Wallabies and Springboks mean that a first-ever title is still in reach – if they can secure a bonus point victory against South Africa and stop the hosts from picking up a bonus point of their own. It’s a tall order and Rassie Erasmus’s Springboks side will be desperate to claim the title on home soil.
If you’re in the UK you can tune in on Sky Sports/Now, while viewers in South Africa should set their remote controls to SuperSport. There are also numerous countries where Springboks v Pumas live streams are available FOR FREE via New Zealand Rugby’s NZR+ service – you’ll find more on that below.

Watch Springboks v Pumas live streams if you’re away from home
Away from home for work or a vacation on Saturday? That doesn’t mean you have to miss the second Rugby Championship match of the weekend. Fans who are travelling overseas can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.
A VPN – or Virtual Private Network – is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television – even when you’re overseas. (Assuming this complies with the broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course.)
The technology experts from TechRadar love NordVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and it’s currently available at a knockdown price.
