World champions South Africa will look at resting some players that helped them win the series against the British and Irish Lions to manage workloads for the Rugby Championship, coach Jacques Nienaber said.
The Springboks sealed the Lions series 2-1 with a 19-16 win in Cape Town on Saturday but celebrations are already over, with the first of two tests against the Pumas in Port Elizabeth on Saturday.
"There are some players who were part of the initial 46-man squad for our conditioning camp in June, who have not had an opportunity yet, so we will look to give some of them a run in the next few weeks. Lock RG Snyman will rejoin the Springboks next week, boosting the squad to 43 following the additions of number eight Duane Vermeulen, winger Rosko Specman, scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse and hooker Johan Grobbelaar.
New Zealand finished top of the Tri-Nations ahead of second-placed Argentina, with Australia, who hosted the entire tournament due to the Covid-19 pandemic, finishing third.
