ARGENTINA ENDED SOUTH Africa’s unbeaten run with a thrilling 29-28 win in their Rugby Championship match at Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades on Saturday.
“Credit to Argentina, they put us under a lot of pressure,” said Salmaan Moerat, standing in for regular Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, who was rested.An Argentine win seemed unlikely when the Springboks made a blazing start in a match played in 36 degrees Celsius heat, leading 17-0 inside 13 minutes.
But Argentina hit back in spectacular fashion, with wing Mateo Carreras reducing the deficit two minutes later. Scrum-half Cobus Reinach scored a try for the Springboks shortly before the end of a frenetic first half with Argentina leading 26-22 at the break.
