Marcos Ayerza celebrated a memorable victory over South Africa on Saturday in his 60th Test cap for Argentina.
Pumas wing Juan Imhoff scored a hat-trick of tries in their first-ever win over South Africa, winning 37-25 in the Rugby Championship fixture in Durban.
Ayerza played a prominent part as the scrum set the platform for Argentina on the day they commemorated the 50th anniversary of their first tour of South Africa.
Tigers supporters have a chance to assess the Pumas at first hand on Saturday, September 5 when they travel to Welford Road in the Marcos Ayerza Testimonial Challenge as they continue their build-up to the Rugby World Cup.
