SANZAAR and Unión Argentina de Rugby confirm that this year’s Rugby Championship clash between Argentina and South Africa will be played at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, London.
Felipe Contepomi’s Los Pumas lock horns with the Rugby World Cup-winning Springboks on Saturday, 4 October (Kick-Off: 2pm) in the final round of this year’s Rugby Championship, where everything could be on the line to decide who will be crowned champions.

The fixture will be only the second Rugby Championship match ever to be played outside of the four core territories of Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Tickets will go on general sale from 10am on Thursday, 13 February, starting from just £55* for adults and £28* for under-16s, for this must-see final match of The Rugby Championship.
Argentina followed up their run to the semi-finals of the 2023 Rugby World Cup with victories over South Africa, Australia and New Zealand in last year’s Rugby Championship, and Head Coach Felipe Contepomi is delighted to be facing the world champions again.

“Facing the world champions is always a great challenge and a tough test that we have year after year thanks to The Rugby Championship,” he said.
“Playing against the best teams raises our level and is a great opportunity to keep growing.”

Gabriel Travaglini, UAR President, added: “For the Argentine Rugby Union, it is an honour that Los Pumas have the opportunity to face the Springboks, the current World Champions, at the legendary Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, known as the Home of Rugby.
“We thank World Rugby and SANZAAR for this opportunity, which represents a recognition of the growth and level of our rugby, and helps us to continue strengthening the development of Argentine rugby.
“Undoubtedly, it will be an unforgettable experience for our players and a great opportunity to show our rugby to all the fans around the world.”

For South Africa, the showdown against Argentina marks a return to a familiar venue, having played three Test matches over the last 18 months at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.
Rassie Erasmus’ Springboks bested England (29-20) and Wales (41-13) in London last year, having beaten New Zealand 35-7 in front of a sold-out crowd in 2023 as they warmed up to successfully defend their Rugby World Cup crown.

This year’s clash between Argentina and South Africa will be played in the final round of The Rugby Championship 2025, and SANZAAR Chief Executive Brendan Morris notes the fixture could well determine the ultimate destination of the trophy.
He said: “The Rugby Championship is one of the world’s biggest and most prestigious international rugby tournaments, and it is exciting that we can take this big southern hemisphere clash between Argentina and South Africa to Twickenham in London".
