Overview
- South Africa ran in 10 tries in Durban after a tight first half to beat Argentina 67–30 and move top of the standings.
- Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu delivered a standout display with 37 points, including tries and nine from 10 off the tee, which reports cited as a Springbok record.
- Rassie Erasmus downplayed Cheslin Kolbe’s first-half in-goal blunder as a “brain fart” and noted the winger’s later try and overall impact.
