CAPE TOWN: Flamboyant Argentina have very little in common with the British & Irish Lions but that is unlikely to sway South Africa away from their forward-based style when they host the South Americans in their Rugby Championship opener on Saturday.

The Springboks have made 10 changes from the starting side that won the series decider against the Lions last weekend, eking out a 19-16 victory in a tussle that was for the purists rather than the rugby enthusiast.
