Overview

• Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu, 23, scored a South African Test record 37 points with a hat-trick plus eight conversions and two penalties in Durban.
• South Africa overcame a scrappy first half that featured a conceded penalty try and Malcolm Marx’s yellow card to pull away after the break and finish with ten tries overall.
• Rassie Erasmus labeled Cheslin Kolbe’s in-goal drop-kick error a “brainfart” and backed the winger, who later finished a pinpoint cross-kick from Feinberg-Mngomezulu for a try.
• Erasmus and captain Siya Kolisi hailed the young fly-half’s control and composure, with Argentina coach Felipe Contepomi also praising his standout display.
• The result puts the Springboks on 15 points, one ahead of New Zealand, with a return fixture against Argentina at Twickenham next weekend carrying title implications.
