South Africa’s rugby captain, Siya Kolisi, has been named in the 26-man squad for the upcoming Test match against Argentina, scheduled for August 8 in Buenos Aires. This fixture is expected to be Kolisi’s final opportunity to represent the national team in an international match.

Kolisi is returning from injury and will be joined by fellow players Lood de Jager, Eben Etzebeth, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, and Morne van den Berg, who are also making their comebacks ahead of the match. The game against Argentina will serve as a warm-up ahead of South Africa’s subsequent home series against New Zealand.

The inclusion of these key players is seen as a boost for the South African squad as they prepare for the challenging fixtures ahead. The match in Buenos Aires represents a significant test of the team’s readiness and cohesion after a period affected by injuries to several core members.
