Boks arrive in Argentina


South Africa captain Jean de Villiers has arrived in Argentina with the rest of the Springboks, bracing for a return match against the Pumas -but this time before a rowdy home crowd in the western city of Mendoza.

De Villiers says he expects the Pumas to be " out to prove a point" after losing 27-6 to the Springboks in Cape Town on Saturday.

De Villiers credited Argentina with restricting South Africa to only three tries in what was the Pumas' first match in the inaugural Rugby Championship.

Craig Burdern of the Sharks has replaced Bismarck du Plessis who is out for the rest of the season after damaging knee ligaments early in Saturday's match.

New Zealand also missed out on the four-try bonus point as they beat Australia 27-19 in their Rugby Championship opener in Sydney.

The two teams meet again this weekend in Auckland.
