RATTLED REVIVAL: Bomb squad saves the day for Boks against Argentina in Buenos Aires
The Springboks rallied in the second half when they were given the grunt to start winning the gainline battle. They beat Argentina 17-10 (halftime 10-10) in Buenos Aires thanks to strong performances from players off the bench.
In a grueling Test match at Buenos Aires, the Springboks secured a narrow 17-10 victory over Argentina, thanks in part to the intervention of the Bomb Squad in the second half. The Pumas had taken an early lead, but a resurgence from the Boks, spearheaded by notable contributions from lock Cobus Wiese, hooker Jan-Hendrik Wessels, and prop Zach Porthen, proved decisive.
Flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu's emotional reaction post-match highlighted the effort required to secure the win. The Pumas, known for their relentless defense and up-tempo game, presented a tough challenge, particularly against the Boks' set pieces, which dominated late in the match. Despite the loss, the Boks gained valuable experience ahead of their upcoming Tests against New Zealand.
