André Esterhuizen - Physical battle against Argentina

The Springboks will be expecting a tough battle in the midfield as well when they face Argentina in Buenos Aires in the Rugby Championship.
The Boks know that the battle at the set piece will be key this weekend, but it will also be a matter of what happens after they establish dominance with the forwards.
The centre, André Esterhuizen, is on the bench this week for his first game back after breaking his hand against Wales in Bloemfontein in July.
Esterhuizen feels that the midfield battle will also be key.
