00:00:37of South Africa Argentina as well as rested a number of players a number of
00:00:42players also injured so it's about building depth and this will be the only
00:00:46time they play the world champions in the 2026 season play Australia twice but
00:00:51after the nation's cup performance they need some huge improvements Argentina
00:00:57four uncapped players expected from the Argentines and rightly so it's about
00:01:01building depth for next year's big rugby World Cup in Australia South Africa well
00:01:07the All Blacks are in town so it's testing out if some of Lourdes de Aja
00:01:11the likes of those kind of players if they're fit enough they'll go on for the
00:01:1743rd time together as a combination for South Africa's Lourdes and Eben Sia Colise
00:01:21returns Elrich Lourdes Cameron Hanekom completes the Luchio for South Africa
00:01:26Corbus Reinhard welcomes back Saisha Funbank Gomazulu for the ninth time as a
00:01:30combination for the Springboks and Esther Eisen and Cannon Moody could be the future in the
00:01:36centers for the Edward Edward van der Merwe together with Ethan Hooker and it's a
00:01:42shots back three for the Springboks this afternoon on the bench Andre Pollard
00:01:48Mourne van der Berg will get an opportunity as well Jan Henrik Vessels Stiernikamp as
00:01:52well Zachary Porten has been outstanding Dixon and van Stadde must be said they
00:01:56become the specialist coming off the bench for the Springboks this year at home
00:02:01looking for some redemption considering their performance against England managed
00:02:06to beat Wales and in Scotland as well losing in the Nations Cup and over this
00:02:10over the season we've seen improvement from Argentina but not so far on the
00:02:15debut Francisco Miranda the 24 year old and on the tight head will run out for
00:02:20Argentina for the first time experience in Petey and Labanini and the lock
00:02:24forwards Matera will captain the team as well and look out for the youngster
00:02:28Gordona and Moura will have some responsibility of carrying it up Cruz and
00:02:33Carreras will be the halfback pairing Valarolo the youngster and with the
00:02:37Luciano Sinti and his centers for Argentina presentity you've seen him attend
00:02:42before and today number 15 jersey Mendian is grow with some sevens experience
00:02:47complete the back three for Argentina on the bench the experience of Matias
00:02:53Morende the 35 year old three rugby World Cup for him so he'll definitely be the
00:02:57captain of the bench lots expected of him and Pinocos will come on on debut
00:03:03number 20 jersey and he goes Chalzo as well another opportunity John Martin
00:03:07Chalzo could get a chance as Obedio at hooker another youngster who might get a
00:03:13chance on debut for the Argentines well I'm not alone in commentary for my
00:03:17Springbok fly-fragly World Cup winners welcome Joel's been a minute another
00:03:21opportunity for the Springboks Russi Rasmus to test his depth yeah absolutely good
00:03:26evening and welcome to everybody what a game this promises to be as you say and
00:03:30Russi's got a number of players out there who have to prove their fitness
00:03:33firstly and secondly he's work out which combinations are going to be best some of
00:03:38them it must be said as well maybe even as backup combinations but most
00:03:42importantly I think it's going to be even it's a bit good D Augusty making their way
00:03:46back in that tight five and loose forward trio and of course if Sasha Fiberg and
00:03:50Gomezulu fires quickly and fires well this will be a team that is capable of
00:03:55ripping the opposition apart for Argentina slightly different story Felipe Contopomi
00:04:00stuck with a number of his players having had to return to Europe already number of
00:04:05injuries I think 15 players unavailable and of course bear in mind Thomas Albono's
00:04:10ban for four weeks because of that altercation with the referee is a little little naughty in
00:04:16what he did and maybe lucky to only get four weeks but he'll sit out for four weeks in this
00:04:20couple of test matches both coaches looking for their 15s to find a way to play at the big
00:04:26league find a way to win games away from home in Springbok's case and for Argentina as you quite
00:04:32rightly pointed out it's a chance to bounce back off the Pro Nations Cup yeah did you touch on the
00:04:37rest
00:04:38and the players unavailable I think South Africa is in a very similar position as Argentina whereby
00:04:43lots of players will play overseas the player welfare becomes key and that's one of the reasons the rest
00:04:49minutes to build a strong squad and Argentina as you see before my captain I'll captain the team
00:04:56and Pablo Matera 32 years old played for the Crusaders now currently in Japan lots of experience in
00:05:04Pablo Matera 125 tests for Argentina and this team will need his experience they'll need every single
00:05:13moment of it because it's a team with four debutants may making their way into the international arena
00:05:19couple of them starting couple will come up the bench that the home crowd will get behind this team
00:05:23of course if you're wearing the green and gold today you'll want to keep the clock the crowd fight you'll
00:05:28want to
00:05:28shut them up quite early because a boisterous Argentinian crowd is a crowd that's inspires and spurs their
00:05:35team on but they need to be buoyed from the start Argentina must start well nothing to lose for the
00:05:40playing against the world champions one of the few teams that managed to beat the Springboks post the
00:05:462022 Rugby World Cup what you say nothing to lose it may be a friendly it's a test match and
00:05:53no one wants to
00:05:54lose a test match as you wait the national anthem's what an occasion we saw in Cape Town still most
00:06:03players
00:06:04shedding a tear facing the All Blacks the importance of the test match right here very few get
00:06:11opportunities to sing the national anthem if we play in the beautiful game later
00:06:18the national anthem of Sudafrica played by Guadalupe Cristina and Martin O'Connor
00:07:12thank you
00:12:45Oh
00:13:06Even when the game is ten professionals or some things that just never change the passion
00:13:11For the beautiful game of rugby saw Terry 24 year old Francisco Moreno on debut against the world champion
00:13:20Sia Colise will capture South Africa for the 72nd time
00:13:25And he'll run out for his 104th test match for South Africa
00:13:32Beautiful music Joel Stransky, passionate, gets you going
00:13:35Oh wonderful, wonderful to see those tears, look at that, that is about emotion
00:13:39That's what it means to represent your country, particularly in front of a home crowd
00:13:43Against the world's number one rugby team
00:13:46And a big challenge lies ahead for that Argentinian tight five
00:13:50For their pack of forwards to take on the mighty Springboks
00:13:53The Warriors, as Rossi Erasmus likes to call his team
00:13:58It's a big challenge, they're physical and hard and brutal
00:14:01They'll make life tough, the kicking game is strong
00:14:03And if you are to beat them, you've got to front up physically
00:14:06You've got to find a way to beat that rush defense and get points on the board
00:14:11And of course in doing so you've got to be disciplined
00:14:14And make sure that man there Christophe Ridley doesn't blow you out the park
00:14:18Which the Springboks will force upon you
00:14:21Third test in charge for South Africa for Chris Ridley from England
00:14:25He won one against Scotland in 2024 in November
00:14:29And last one in 2024 against Argentina in Santiago
00:14:33When Chris Ridley was in charge
00:14:35But if you do your basics right, a referee is not part of the debate
00:14:41He said four unkept players for Argentina currently ranked seventh in the world South Africa
00:14:47First in the world rankings
00:14:49And Argentina have got the kickoff
00:14:53Playing from left to right of your screen
00:14:58Into the sun which might be a little bit of a factor
00:15:01You can see the shadows lying across the field there
00:15:03South Africa will receive but will they look to use the box kicks
00:15:06The up and unders just to maybe make life a little difficult for that catching back three
00:15:14For the first game between South Africa and Argentina
00:15:17Is on the go in Buenos Aires
00:15:22Deep start to the game secured by the Springboks
00:15:27Hybrid player Andres Deza
00:15:32Elric Lowe
00:15:36South Africa use it
00:15:38Experiented with this 50th test match during the nation's game
00:15:48The counter for Argentina cruises drum off for the part of forwards
00:15:53To the left inside Argentina Pro
00:16:00Springbok defense
00:16:02Position of strength
00:16:10For the first game
00:16:11Just slid up didn't his arms and around the neck, it's judged the judge to have been strong carry from
00:16:16Valororo
00:16:20immediate signs of that rush springbok defense taking the space putting them under argentina
00:16:25under enormous pressure catching them behind the game line but well at all just caught a little
00:16:31around the neck there i've got it i've heard it yeah i am we're not going to wait we're going
00:16:42to continue for now so if we've already opted for gold but the tmo will look in the background
00:16:48it's coming now ben whitehouse is our tmo today you'll have a little look at that and maybe make
00:16:54a recommendation it's pretty innocuous it's around the neck but you think it's penalty only
00:17:01can you see 10 meters please
00:17:05then do you need anything from me we also look at the camera nothing clear nothing clear
00:17:11nothing clear
00:17:11nothing clear
00:17:21i've seen him as a boy for argentina santiago carreras fly off a bot so familiar position for budget
00:17:30time for half for the day flags are up argentina draw first blood
00:17:40he has a wonderful striker of the ball isn't he santiago carreras
00:17:46really accomplished kicker 219 points now for his country as you said very comfortable at the back
00:17:53as a 15 as a last defender and very comfortable as the playmaker at number 10.
00:17:59he started by south africa will manage the back from the young champion moro
00:18:10argentina use it
00:18:13let's let go let go let go
00:18:14let's move on
00:18:18springboks that advance in a kind bounce that is fine making gomezulu who finds fandam over
00:18:24It's the reason not so tidy up now
00:18:31Advantage Argentina
00:18:36Satisfact to stop from one advantage over and the advantage is over
00:18:43Very comfortable ball in hand running from their own 22's Argentina
00:18:50Putting the spring box under pressure finding space
00:18:55Steps off steps off up in the temper career a short
00:18:59Well in his pre-match interview feed become to follow me mentioned the fact that they need to keep ball
00:19:12in hand
00:19:13They need to move it around quickly
00:19:15It's a big spring box pack around a little bit side to side
00:19:19This little touch out the chicken wing plan from such a partner
00:19:24Sometimes you've got to just do the simple things instead of making it complex
00:19:33Start from Argentina very useful with ball in hand right now
00:19:42Do you are in the front for South Africa
00:19:50It's a good reaction by Argentina
00:19:54They expected the driving more
00:19:58Reinhardt
00:19:59He has to raise it
00:19:59Spring box back on that front foot
00:20:01Gomez Reinhardt
00:20:02Such a fun big Gomez
00:20:04Again on the front foot for the visitors
00:20:08Terra
00:20:12Playing the nine penalty South Africa
00:20:17That's like a pickpocket just stole the ball out of my neck sands
00:20:21Enlightening dissorest
00:20:22little one Asker
00:20:22playing the nine Feinberg
00:20:23and Gomez GUISE Atclicking
00:20:24the game
00:20:25line Looking for contact has just
00:20:28come back from injury Brave and courageous already You
00:20:32Araryaldo Yes
00:20:43Feinberg
00:20:44and Gomisulu
00:20:44have an argument there there wasn't really a clean-up which he had rights
00:20:48to play the ball you would think
00:20:58hundred and thirty two points the green gold to South Africa for fine bag from
00:21:07Missoulu nine tries to his name
00:21:13to level the scores all square at the Jose Amafatini Stadio
00:21:27he may have been injured with an ankle injury for a few weeks now in fact it's
00:21:32probably a couple of months he looks pretty comfortable back in action here
00:21:37does the quarter-finals of the UR see the player we need to really see the ball in
00:21:43hand opportunities eat the hooker promising youngster
00:21:49is that a knock-on
00:21:53from the touchline they said backwards from blue initially there's no doubt with
00:21:57Diaga not doing great to see the big fellow back in the second row being out
00:22:01for some time looks keen and eager gets up high just can't gather loses it forward
00:22:09Rossi Rasmus will be delighted to see Diaga back in action you touched on Ethan Hooker
00:22:14it's a wonderful back combination isn't it if you think of Keenan Moody at 13
00:22:20six feet running skills great place the wind is going to marry Ethan Hooker up a
00:22:25Lele Fassi at the back
00:22:26stays and creating a foil in that number 12 shirt ability to lug it up and set a
00:22:31platform Sasha Feinberg and Gomez you're controlling things it is a back line that
00:22:36could cause havoc if every part of the game is about to kick off here Joel it's
00:22:40scrim
00:22:42I know I know
00:22:43it's a thing of beauty when the green and gold are going forward but they've gone to
00:22:46ground this time
00:22:52and he's the one man you wouldn't expect to go to ground the old and he's been in such
00:22:56wonderful form whether in the UK at Bath or here in South Africa for the box become just
00:23:03a mighty pillar in that Springbok squad

00:25:23snatched out of the air by Grondona
00:25:25and the space just opened up

00:25:55they come back infield
00:26:00Joe Strang's protection
00:26:01they have to shut down this Argentine crowd
00:26:05when they get behind the team

00:26:07fine bag with Gomazulu
00:26:11his kick is still rolling
00:26:22he was looking for the 50-22
00:26:25wasn't he

00:27:09might open up for Argentina
00:27:12well
00:27:12a roller with a good storm
00:27:13to this test match
00:27:17rush defense can put under pressure
00:27:23Fassi
00:27:25inside the 22 for the Springbok
00:27:27fullback
00:27:30that's a good touch finder by
00:27:31Antonio Fassi
00:27:32yeah his first touch isn't it
00:27:34of course time he's been called
00:27:35into action and very effective
00:27:38no doubts
00:27:40he's got his team play quickly
00:27:42looking to use that ball
00:27:43looking to use the width
00:27:44looking to use the width
00:27:45every time there's a little
00:27:46snip of opportunity they try and
00:27:48keep it alive they try and use
00:27:49the space
00:27:51South Africa at the moment
00:27:52one or two little areas
00:27:54creeping in you expected from a
00:27:55team that's
00:27:56I guess has a number of changes
00:27:59a number of players back from
00:28:00injury that will take them
00:28:01a little while to settle
00:28:04set piece good
00:28:05and upping the tempo carry for
00:28:08Moro
00:28:10quick ball for Argentina
00:28:13on to the short side
00:28:16and a penalty advantage for the
00:28:19home team
00:28:22pass not sticking the space was
00:28:24created they know it is grow
00:28:27together with Matera on the short
00:28:30side it's one of those floated balls
00:28:32isn't it
00:28:32meant for either man is great
00:28:34put a hand up
00:28:35as it was going into the hands of
00:28:37the captain
00:28:38Pablo Matera just watched it
00:28:40nick the fingers and sail over his
00:28:41head
00:28:42nothing he could do
00:28:47the
00:28:48Dr. Yaga was the man penalized for
00:28:49jumping the defensive line a little
00:28:51quick
00:28:51I can see that
00:28:55quite too many penalties as
00:28:57opening stands ahead the spring
00:28:59box
00:29:03Nick
00:29:04the goalkeeper almost
00:29:11No contest from the Springboks, he's been very busy as Grondona, the tri-scorer.
00:29:17The important thing, Argentina on the front foot. Springboks being pushed backwards.
00:29:24Labadini driven backwards. Good tackle from Cameron Hannekel.
00:29:29Good counter, no issue there.
00:29:32Skipped far side wide, it's gone forward.
00:29:40It's quite a clever strategy the Argentine team are using at the moment.
00:29:46They're getting into Sascha Feinberg and Gomisulu's channel, making him make the tackles.
00:29:50A couple of little offloads here, he's got a brace up. Over the gain line they go, it's a big
00:29:55number eight.
00:29:57He just carries it up strongly through the tackle, then creates a bit of space out wide
00:30:01because they're on the go forward in that pass. Just a little bit forward.
00:30:05Ratera, the amused smile. I think there's no doubt it was scored.
00:30:09Christopher Ridley was in line and called it immediately.
00:30:13I got the eight! I got the eight!
00:30:16I got the eight! I got the eight!
00:30:17I got the eight!
00:30:35I got the eight!
00:30:36Settle scr ankle collapsed.
00:30:38At a point to prove Fendler problems, a toy.
00:30:44It's a better than Diago complete the tat five of the springbox.
00:30:49Francisco Moreno, the
00:30:50young man.
00:30:52How about 150 kgs?
00:30:54he's a big unit ended up in pieces
00:31:53him, he was able to go to the
00:31:54fullback just gives him an element of certainty in that channel

00:33:43So much energy, four uncapped players in the match 23, Gomez, Zulu, Haneckhoff.
00:33:55Gómez Reynacher waits and gets the pass out, Lourdes Diaghe.
00:34:02No real rhythm formed the Springboks.
00:34:05Esther Eisen, this time around, hangs on to the ball.
00:34:11Fenter.
00:34:15Reiner. Fassi.
00:34:18They keep ball in hand.
00:34:22On to the short side. Ethan Hooker needs to stay in field.
00:34:30Grinding from the winger.
00:34:36Nine use it.
00:34:40Felici.
00:34:44On to the short side. Gómez Reiner probes the toy to Lourdes Diaghe.
00:34:54Better rhythm by the Springbok Packer forwards.
00:34:56Colise takes plate just outside the 22.
00:35:01Counter up for Matera.
00:35:02Good work. Counter was fine.
00:35:05Gómez Zulu takes it up himself.
00:35:11Retral by seven.
00:35:14Problem. It's man and ball. Good appreciation of the laws by the hooker.
00:35:18It was tackled. Let go of the ball.
00:35:20Secured it. In the pocket. Find him Gómez Zulu with the drop goal.
00:35:26Hits the upright. Game on.
00:35:32What defense from Argentina.
00:35:36Sascha find by Gómez Zulu.
00:35:41No real chase from the box.
00:35:45Gómez Zulu didn't put them inside in time.
00:35:47He opened up Ing too.
00:35:48Cruz.
00:35:52Loose pass.
00:35:53Ho cliché by Carreras.
00:35:56Tackled by Eh动 Ysbyth.
00:36:00Now Benigni each jump up.
00:36:02Picks up Hazemo himself.
00:36:03The contest.
00:36:05خantic lost his footing, so should we play on
00:36:08missing that opportunity for the turnover so much communication just
00:36:19coming from the bench or thank you I think it's the players talking to each
00:36:22other get back in the game good talking good calling
00:36:31to go with position right up you at the office boss was a good one
00:36:41it's a pass to find a murder and go for the moment looks back in field run into a
00:36:48brick wall problem another brick wall Argentina here to play make the tackle

00:37:11with the G Gubba sign up onto the short side Esther Azen keeps it alive
00:37:17Ken and Moody a contest not holding up their own body weight so that couldn't
00:37:24be given see a Khaleesi quality carry by the springboard captain which one day
00:37:31got going no no no no you can't take that
00:37:37he's done
00:37:41Argentina defense is reset and a knock on
00:37:50I think both coaches will be pretty happy with that for us, he will be quite happy with
00:37:54the build-up play from South Africa. Five or six carries from the captain, Sio Cadici,
00:37:59using his feet well, stepping, using a bit of strength. It all came about after an attempt
00:38:05to drop goal. Just a little off to the right, hits the upright, comes back down, big bounce
00:38:10off the crossbar towards the upright. It's awfully close. In came. Patient
00:38:17pulled up from South Africa and a good set in defense from the home team. That will get
00:38:23the crowd behind them. That will get the crowd on their feet. Test of character for the Springbox.
00:38:29All right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, all good. Thank you.
00:38:33Rugby World Cup winners, I've got a penalty-only high tackle, no-arms tackle by full blue, which
00:38:43causes the knock-on, or is part of causing the knock-on. I think you're going to have to
00:38:47just put it on the screen anyway, so people understand. Is that OK?
00:38:50OK. Yeah, bear with me. Let's get to the director. I'll just explain to the captain who's put on the
00:38:54screen.
00:38:55Yeah. So it's a no-arms by five blue. It's a bit. Last time I played a test because it
00:38:59was in November.
00:39:05Pablo, Pablo.
00:39:09Where's the captain?
00:39:11It's the crowd. I'm not going to like this one.
00:39:13Pablo.
00:39:17I've just been told that there's actually a penalty restart because there was a no-arms tackle by number four
00:39:23blue.
00:39:24So once everyone's up and they've been treated, we're going to restart with a penalty to South Africa.
00:39:29I'll get the mark right, but of course you can. But it's a penalty only. We'll restart with that.
00:39:35But there's no rush. Make sure the injured players are treated.
00:39:43A little report. First quarter. Done.
00:39:46So I'm happy with all this guys. 100% correct.
00:39:50Pretty much what we expected. We expected South Africa to be a little disrupted by all the changes.
00:39:55A couple of those guys coming back from injury to take a moment to settle again.
00:40:00We expected Argentina to move the ball around to play quickly.
00:40:03We expected them to be gutsy and try and front up here in front of their home crowd, their families,
00:40:08their friends.
00:40:09It's exactly what's happened.
00:40:11One really good try.
00:40:14I'm not sure.
00:40:15Yes, it was a knockoff of us.
00:40:18Petty didn't look too involved there, but the call's been made.
00:40:22I would have scored.
00:40:23No, no.
00:40:24There was no one.
00:40:24There were multiple tacklers.
00:40:25I would have scored.
00:40:26There was a lot of times involved, so I only think it would have happened there.
00:40:29But I guess if you were both the coaches, you'd probably not be too unhappy at this stage.
00:40:34South Africa building.
00:40:35The last couple of attacks have been a little more fluent, a little more constructive strategy working.
00:40:42Argentina on the other hand, they've had a couple of good moments too.
00:40:45They're competing Argentina, five metres away from their own tri-line.
00:40:52And the Springboks load up the driving more.
00:40:54They need to keep it up.
00:40:56Advantage, collapsing.
00:40:57Well, the penalty advantage.
00:40:59The break from problem.
00:41:02Argentina wanted more.
00:41:04And rightly so.
00:41:06Nothing to lose.
00:41:08Very youthful team.
00:41:12Showing great guts and tenacity at the moment.
00:41:17Not going their way, the Springboks.
00:41:22Still under penalty advantage though.
00:41:24No, it's coming.
00:41:25You've got to get the balance right, Argentina.
00:41:27It's a collapse at the mall.
00:41:28Number two.
00:41:29Collapse.
00:41:31Just pushing the boundaries again of the cards.
00:41:34They're playing so well.
00:41:36We don't want to talk about cards.
00:41:38It's okay.
00:41:38The cards have such a massive influence on the game at the moment.
00:41:41Sometimes I just think they get brandished real quickly.
00:41:44What does interest me is the South African mall.
00:41:48It's not always, with all our big forwards, all our great strength, it's not always been our best weapon.
00:41:54Again, Argentina finding a way.
00:41:56I know this time they've been penalized for collapsing, but their mall defense so far has been pretty decent.
00:42:06You see that side entry there coming from Pablo Mateo, that's what I'm talking about.
00:42:10They're going to stay sharp defensively, Argentina.
00:42:17This is not good news for Sio Khaleesi.
00:42:21He's coming off, yeah, with a 6-2 split, so Markov and Steiner should be coming on.
00:42:26Oh, yeah, you do have to kick the line.
00:42:27That's, uh, maybe that calf strain coming to the fore, then.
00:42:33Line's all split.
00:42:36This split.
00:42:37That is a permanent replacement.
00:42:40As Markov and Steiner is on.
00:42:44Now the contest from Argentina in the line-out, and it works out brilliantly for them.
00:42:50Chance to counter.
00:42:52Valarola's kick.
00:42:53Nobody at the back, they've got it backtracked, Corvus Reinhardt.
00:42:59Ten wait.
00:43:00Kiefton in play.
00:43:02Thirteen wait.
00:43:05Fassi.
00:43:07Call for the mark.
00:43:11Happy to slow it down.
00:43:13Fassi.
00:43:16Good contest at the line-out for Argentina.
00:43:18I think they were just fighting the same space whilst running towards the ball, so just play through.
00:43:25Quite often on your goal line, you don't worry about putting a jumper up, you just defend the three little
00:43:30pods.
00:43:32Argentina this time took the rest, put a jumper up and won the ball.
00:43:39In fact, the pressure is what caused the mistake more so than winning it.
00:43:46And of course, there's no one at home at the back, so you can kick into the open space.
00:43:55The crowd gets behind the home team as Labanini secures the line-out.
00:44:00Carreras, they launch the attack at home in Argentina against the world champions.
00:44:04A loose pass, a loose pass, tidy up, Isgro.
00:44:08And charged by...
00:44:10Ah!
00:44:11What, it's a loose fall!
00:44:13And a federal pass for Argentina, Mendy turning the springboks with the boot.
00:44:20Gomez-Ulanda presser, Presantelli putting in the tackle.
00:44:26Counter Argentina.
00:44:27Contest over now, everyone on their feet.
00:44:32Well, the game is flowing their way.
00:44:35We need to make it rain to make the most of this advantage, Argentina.
00:44:40South Africa, use it.
00:44:43Stop, stop.
00:44:44World rankings also on the line here for the springboks.
00:44:48The result doesn't go the way.
00:44:50It might drop to second...
00:44:54..in the world rankings.
00:44:57Well, it's semi-charged down by Ethan Hooker, which means it's open play and Argentina allowed
00:45:01to play the ball in what was an offside position. The bounce was favorable and then, again,
00:45:09they used the little chip kick once or twice, that quick turnover ball, looking for space
00:45:13behind the rush defense. And it's working out pretty well for them.
00:45:19Ruz's line-out is good, very direct the carry from Isgro, Rodrigo Isgro into the 22-go Argentina,
00:45:30change of direction, short side, better defense spring box, and that's a huge tackle,
00:45:36Irvin Etzeme, the counter by the box, it's successful, they've secured it.
00:45:47Ruz's line-out, elegant load.
00:45:55Okay, Hughes now.
00:46:00Ethan Hooker to chase the kick with Ruz's line-out, tap backwards, cheated up by Argentina.
00:46:08He's done it! He's done it! He's done it!
00:46:10No, no, no, you can't go in there.
00:46:12I've heard him, I've heard him, I've heard him!
00:46:16He's done it!
00:46:20He's done it!
00:46:21He's done it!
00:46:21He's done it!
00:46:22He's done it!
00:46:25What an impressive, Pablo Matera, strong on his feet.
00:46:32Oh, the turnover, Cameron Hanukum.
00:46:39It was one of your players cleared the player away.
00:46:41Pablo Matera just made that extra yard, got away from the support, away from the cleaners,
00:46:45and that allowed Cameron Hanukum to get his hands on it.
00:46:50Just so you know, number four Argentina took someone off the ball anyway,
00:46:54which wasn't over the breakdown.
00:46:56He spoke about discipline, that's Guido Petty's second or third transgression already.
00:47:00He's got a history of not being the most disciplined player around.
00:47:05He would have been found guilty of taking a player out of play, away from the ball,
00:47:10had the Springboks not already had the penalty.
00:47:165-5, you're not the captain.
00:47:21He just gets away from the support there, Matera.
00:47:23And because he's away from the support, it allows Cameron Hanukum to get his hands on the ball,
00:47:28and oh, this is a massive tackle on Sanchez Valarola.
00:47:33Should have let that go, gets absolutely smashed by the big fellas.
00:47:42Hanukum, throw it over the top by the Springboks.
00:47:48Pick up and draft through the medal, Cameron Hanukum.
00:47:55The entirety of the breakdown, and the penalty to Argentina.
00:47:59No, no, no, stop, stop, stop.
00:48:04Let me explain.
00:48:06Lads, up you get, please.
00:48:09Up you get, it's not even your penalty, so leave the ball.
00:48:14You went a long way past, you then reach back, you're offside, and you pass the ball away.
00:48:18You're in an offside, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:48:20We're speaking.
00:48:21You're in an offside position, you can't play it from there.
00:48:25Tap and go, let's get the game on the way.
00:48:27Both teams trying to play quickly, even if it's not your own penalty.
00:48:33That is an interesting kick from the penalty, not looking for touch,
00:48:36kicking it down the middle of the park.
00:48:38It will find him over, has kicked it even more interesting.
00:48:40It's a contestable in the air, and knocked on by Argentina.
00:48:49Two interesting lineups by the Springboks.
00:48:53Apede de Fasi, another contestable in the air.
00:48:57Clanned by Argentina, driven back, put the counter by the box.
00:48:59Apede de Fasi, another contestable in the air.
00:49:04Defended by Argentina.
00:49:06Vance is knocked on.
00:49:08No, Vance is gone for a second too late.
00:49:11The runner was committed.
00:49:12The pass was on his hip, just behind him, couldn't gather.
00:49:16Chasing from Ethan Hooker as well.
00:49:18The catcher under enormous pressure.
00:49:21Let's go, let's go.
00:49:22This is a great angle, that pass was stuck.
00:49:26It's just a little too late.
00:49:28It just meant it was on the hip, but Vance was stretching to make the tackle.
00:49:32Still managed to make it, but the ball was lost already.
00:49:37Good clean-out from Sacha Feinberg.
00:49:41I know you wouldn't.
00:49:42Do you talk?
00:49:42No, yeah, yeah, fine.
00:49:43Oh, we're trying to do it.
00:49:44Of course, yeah.
00:49:46So, Joel, the game this time for me, I love it for a player like Cameron Hanekon for his growth,
00:49:51because we've seen him with the ball in hand.
00:49:53He can do amazing stuff.
00:49:55And conditions like this, I think it's just going to make Cameron Hanekon's experience
00:49:59and growth just to be a superstar of the future.
00:50:03Yeah, 100 percent.
00:50:04And the only right the conditions, Tudemis.
00:50:07Mostly at home at Loftus Fersfeld, where it's fast and furious.
00:50:1013 degrees this afternoon in Buenos Aires.
00:50:13Good conditions.
00:50:14The pitch is wonderful.
00:50:16Argentina trying to speed it up.
00:50:17It means Hanekon comes into the game as a fetcher, as a stealer.
00:50:21As well as a ball carrier and a ball player.
00:50:23Guys, he's quite a traditional number eight in some ways.
00:50:26And then he adds to it by having an ability to jack it.
00:50:30Don't bind before bind either.
00:50:31That's not the right.
00:50:32Look, Diogo hasn't got any smaller resins.
00:50:34He's a big old unit, the big second row.
00:50:36Keep your arm down.
00:50:46Bind!
00:50:48So just thinking about some of those players coming back from injury,
00:50:50you'd expect the benches to be mightily important this afternoon too.
00:51:00Interesting scrum.
00:51:01Felt the Springboks at the upper hand.
00:51:03Oh, it's blue.
00:51:04False hurt.
00:51:05Can get the reward for the penalty.
00:51:08It's a bit.
00:51:11First time to play this test was against Wales.
00:51:14Nofembe lost, it's Eben Aceved.
00:51:18Reinhard.
00:51:20Yes, De Reza.
00:51:28Session driven backwards.
00:51:30From a standing start, Lortiocha.
00:51:32Not fluent enough at the moment by the Springboks.
00:51:38It's a dangerous pass.
00:51:40Could easily be intercepted.
00:51:42It's a knock-on advantage.
00:51:43It's a knock-on advantage.
00:51:44It's a knock-on advantage over.
00:51:44No, a knock-on chance for Argentina.
00:51:48Hooker.
00:51:48It's a knock-on advantage over.
00:51:51No, don't play him.
00:51:57Once more with Eben Aceved.
00:52:00Use it, South Africa.
00:52:06Use it.
00:52:11Ethan Hooker to chase.
00:52:13Can't win that kick.
00:52:15It's gone too far.
00:52:18Carreras has been good.
00:52:20Outstanding is Moro and Cardona.
00:52:23Young, loose forwards of Argentina.
00:52:26The kick pass.
00:52:27Prince Santelli's kick.
00:52:28And wonderful.
00:52:30Argentina keep it alive.
00:52:32Could carry it from Balorolo.
00:52:36Change of direction.
00:52:37They're lining up.
00:52:38Very unfortunate.
00:52:39The knock-on.
00:52:41Double knock-on.
00:52:43Oh, they've been good this first time by Argentina.
00:52:47They're on dead run.
00:52:48You've got to give credit to Rex 2.
00:52:49They have made life for fleets up on the Springboks.
00:52:52They've been smart.
00:52:53Their kick game has been pretty clever.
00:52:55This time, the kick pass was just absolutely spot on.
00:52:59I will.
00:52:59It's quite noisy now.
00:53:00I'll try louder.
00:53:02That's that point.
00:53:03Oh, the crowd's going to be on them.
00:53:04Time's off.
00:53:05The ref says it's quite noisy.
00:53:09It's a wonderful kick pass.
00:53:11It's a lovely little pop pass.
00:53:13Now, one more pass here and it was on.
00:53:16Just couldn't get it away.
00:53:18Strong, powerfully built.
00:53:20Pastino, Suncars, Balorolo.
00:53:22I'll give the same message to them, but if you want reward, you have to stay down.
00:53:26The slap's not up.
00:53:27I'll say the same to them.
00:53:28I couldn't grab the ball, not even by the handle.
00:53:31Guys, if you want reward, stay flat, all of you.
00:53:36If you want reward, stay flat, all of you.
00:53:38If you want reward, stay flat.
00:53:51Okay, ready.
00:53:53Knock on blue, scrum green.
00:53:58Same again.
00:53:59With the bind, same again.
00:54:08A lot of talking on the pitch there at the moment.
00:54:12But his cruises for a second or two.
00:54:15We'll have to check on why.
00:54:17Now on, look like maybe on HIA because he jogged off pretty fluently, you'd say.
00:54:27Just on the brink of half-time, five minutes or so.
00:54:30It's been an entwalling first-half.
00:54:32I think it was a great test for South Africa.
00:54:34Great performance so far by the home team.
00:54:40And yet, just the one score in it.
00:54:41Can I just ask, can I just ask Flankers, can you not shout during the engagement call?
00:54:46Because I think it's confusing, I think it's confusing people.
00:54:49So just don't shout during the call.
00:54:52Here's your mark.
00:54:53Thank you, sir.
00:54:55Yeah, yeah, I'll be loud.
00:55:01At trial by Steven, all-champion Springboks, Rassi Rasmus.
00:55:08Resign for the stick.
00:55:09Resign for the stick.
00:55:10Oh, Steven Karmel in that coaching box.
00:55:15Crouch!
00:55:16Pressure on the home side.
00:55:18Bye!
00:55:18I need to get a result.
00:55:21Set!
00:55:23Only picture at home was against Wells in the Nations Championship.
00:55:27Use it!
00:55:28Use it!
00:55:29Use it!
00:55:50There's not much to do with that possession, Joel.
00:55:53No fly, I want it now.
00:55:55Yeah, a little bit slow.
00:55:57Right now, it's a contestable.
00:55:58Edwin van der Merwey goes up, makes the tackle, but inside the 22.
00:56:04Mark is called.
00:56:06I tell you, there's something really interesting in the Argentinian kick receipt game.
00:56:11It's normally the guy coming forward who makes the call and catches the ball.
00:56:15It's the guy running backward now.
00:56:16He's running backwards.
00:56:18It means there's no block required.
00:56:20Keeps the ball.
00:56:21He keeps his body between the chasing Springbok and the ball coming down.
00:56:25It's a very small tactic.
00:56:27Yeah, it's been a trend coming up now with a change of the laws.
00:56:30Makes it difficult when he's competing for the ball in the air.
00:56:36He has beaten and powerful.
00:56:38The hybrid you call him earlier.
00:56:39Could be a second row hybrid, not just a loose fall at hybrid, but at number 12.
00:56:44Big and strong, and over the game line he goes.
00:56:47Be pleased with this first outing for Argentina.
00:56:52Francisco Moreno.
00:56:56Moreno.
00:56:58Constantine.
00:57:04Guys, wait, wait, wait.
00:57:05Find Ben Gomezulu.
00:57:09Contestable.
00:57:10Well managed by Argentina.
00:57:12They've been good in the air.
00:57:13Isgro.
00:57:14Chano.
00:57:15Tackle's legal.
00:57:23Chano's pass is a good one coming around the top.
00:57:26The pass from Presidentini again.
00:57:28Back in field.
00:57:32Keep it alive is Mandy.
00:57:392 minutes.
00:57:41He's going to do a lot better now as the carry from Wegner.
00:57:44Good clear.
00:57:47News 9.
00:57:48So much dominance.
00:57:50He'd want a lot more from his first-off performance, Argentina.
00:57:58Use it, Argentina.
00:58:00Jackaling, crushing the defense, making the hits.
00:58:02His carries.
00:58:05Augustine.
00:58:06We're in his kick.
00:58:09One by South Africa.
00:58:14Can they finish strong in this first half?
00:58:17Elric Lowe.
00:58:20And a real opportunity for the likes of Adolf Karram, Neverken and Moody.
00:58:24It all stacks up front.
00:58:27No strung penalties for the Springboks.
00:58:30Kick in games and managed.
00:58:33Brilliantly by Argentina.
00:58:36And a breakdown point.
00:58:37And a slow ball.
00:58:39Got to find another way to get the go forward.
00:58:42Caught behind the gain line.
00:58:43The 50-50 is worked out.
00:58:45A chance of penalty of Farsi.
00:58:46Edwin Fadimava.
00:58:47Fadimava.
00:58:48Cut in field.
00:58:49Edwin Fadimava.
00:58:50The Springboks could level it.
00:58:53Yes, they will.
00:58:55There was nothing on.
00:58:57They can take the four minutes.
00:58:58They found a way.
00:59:00Yes, and that'll be terrible.
00:59:01And Edwin Fadimava.
00:59:03Try number six.
00:59:05If you take the minute...
00:59:06For the Springboks first one tonight.
00:59:09That's all good.
00:59:10Awesome.
00:59:10Wonderful play in the midfield.
00:59:12Yeah.
00:59:12If you allow that.
00:59:13If you allow that to recall to those 40 years after.
00:59:14Seriously from Andre Estes.
00:59:15And he showed some real great strength.
00:59:17And then frees the pass up.
00:59:18Moody with a little dummy.
00:59:19And then perfect timing.
00:59:21From Apalele Fassi.
00:59:22Back three, back four.
00:59:24Combining superbly.
00:59:26And he has got gas.
00:59:27And wheels to burn.
00:59:29And you're not going to stop Edwin Fadimava from that close.
00:59:31Five.
00:59:32Four.
00:59:32Super way to finish the first half.
00:59:34Great reward.
00:59:36One.
00:59:36For all the good work.
00:59:37And we've spoken about him.
00:59:39These days and freeing up the hands.
00:59:41Moody with the timing of pass.
00:59:43Fassi.
00:59:43Electric.
00:59:44And Fadimava rounds it off.
00:59:48Well, against all odds after the first 40 minutes.
00:59:52The Springboks leveled the scores.
00:59:54No real position.
00:59:56No dominance.
00:59:58Argentina were outstanding the first 40 minutes.
01:00:00Half-time score.
01:00:01and Josie Amafetis Stadium it's all square 10 all
