Argentina come to town for a Sunday fixture on November 22, with another huge clash against the dominant Springboks as the Saturday November 28 finale.

The sequence of games announced today means Pivac will have locked horns during his first year in charge with every side in World Rugby’s top 10 other than eighth-placed Australia, as well as Fiji who are 11th in the rankings.

The autumn matches take on extra significance this year as they will have a direct bearing on seeding for the next World Cup, the draw for which will be made following the conclusion of November's games.
