DURBAN, South Africa (Reuters) - South Africa and Argentina are both aiming to put behind them a disappointing few years on the international stage and seek a new beginning in their opening clash of the Rugby Championship at King's Park on Saturday.

The Springboks have already gone some way to banishing the memories of their barren years since the last World Cup under coach Allister Coetzee, with new tactician Rassie Erasmus engineering a 2-1 home series win over England in June.
