Overview
- South Africa beat Argentina 17-10 in Buenos Aires on Saturday after a tight contest that extended the Springboks’ winning run to 12 tests.
- Captain Siya Kolisi limped off in the 25th minute with what appears to be a recurring hamstring issue and has been sent for scans to assess his fitness for the upcoming All Blacks series.
- Replacements supplied the decisive spark, with No. 8 Cameron Hanekom scoring the go‑ahead try in the 63rd minute and Handré Pollard adding the conversion.
- Argentina, missing several Europe‑based regulars and fielding four debutants, mounted a fierce finish that ended when Matías Moroni knocked on after a 15‑phase post‑whistle drive.
- The match was the Springboks’ final full outing before the four‑Test series with New Zealand, and results plus injury scans will shape Rassie Erasmus’s late selection and workload plans.
