Argentina have now beaten all three Rugby Championship opponents after they triumphed over the Springboks 29-28 in Santiago. The hosts scored four tries on the day with Mateo Carreras, Pablo Matera, Joel Sclavi and Tomas Albornoz scoring with the fly-half also kicking three conversions and a penalty in an epic shift.

In this weekend’s game, the Boks got off to a barn storming start, but allowed the hosts to power back, before a cagey second half saw few scoring opportunities.

South Africa can clinch the Rugby Championship with a game to spare this weekend. The world champion Springboks face Argentina in Santiago del Estero on Saturday.

A group still led by Pablo Matera will have to match South Africa today. The visitors are without four of their regular starting five at the back of the scrum - if Argentina can get on top of that remodelled group at the breakdown and dominate the lineout, a shock could very well be on the cards.

The Springboks let a 17-point lead slip as Argentina showed their class with a superb 29-28 comeback victory in Santiago to keep the race for the Rugby Championship title alive.

Argentina beat the Springboks 29-28 in Santiago del Estero, ensuring that the 2024 Rugby Championship title will be decided in the final round at Mbombela Stadium next week.
