00:00:00championship where they beat the all blacks on home solo argentina so beaming with confidence
00:00:04and outstanding first-off performance joel stransky my co-commentator your take on the
00:00:09first 40. yeah absolutely it was um oh and everything we thought it might be you know
00:00:14quite tight quite hard maybe a little error written from south africa but expectedly so with
00:00:19guys coming back from injury that man looked to jog his last in 40 minutes i'm not sure he'll
00:00:24last too much longer he looked a little fatigued towards the end of the first time which wouldn't
00:00:28be surprising bearing in mind he hasn't played for some time that was the opening try for argentina
00:00:33great little offload from wenger wonderful little snatch from grandona and good acceleration to
00:00:39get over the line and then of course van der maver haunts it off to a little chicken wing offload
00:00:43kanan moody with a show and go and then apaleli fasi with a perfectly timed little pass on
00:00:50no stopping van der maver from that close but just coming back to your question as as as a little
00:00:56bit off as the springboks were argentina's young team were right on it weren't they played nicely
00:01:01they defended the kick game well lost the first scrum and thereafter their scrum was pretty solid
00:01:06carried the ball well went through the phases were patient in their build-ups at times
00:01:10just couldn't maybe find that last pass to go to hand to create any more scoring opportunities their
00:01:15discipline one thing they may have spoken about at half time number of penalties against them
00:01:20even you give them free space you give them kick down and line that opportunity they will punish you
00:01:26eventually and now when you look at the half time you look at the benches you can't help but think
00:01:31that there will be some real input from this other convention compared to the unknown
00:01:35game he can't see what the big job of the argentina team
00:01:40wait for the start of the second half
00:01:46size of find the corner that kicks us off for the second 40.
00:01:52straight up the move
00:01:53both under the ball he jumped into it
00:01:58no hands leave it leave it leave it
00:02:01no infringement from the springbok eighth man
00:02:05there you go
00:02:07it's apparently for attacking yeah christoph it is definitely
00:02:10the penalty for attacking the advantage
00:02:14cameron hanukov's been penalized for sure
00:02:17pulled out of the jump but he certainly went under the legs of just a penalty plan
00:02:23yes i think so from the angle i've seen
00:02:28confidence keeping the ball in hand playing
00:02:30in their own 22 contact in the air it is a penalty advantage
00:02:34just outside the 22 and to be fair to cameron hanukov he realized he couldn't get there and he
00:02:38pulled out stopped his run because he didn't have advantage live i thought it was play on but it is
00:02:42a
00:02:43penalty yeah it's just been nice to explain there by christoph ridley just the one change for argentina at the
00:02:48break francisco
00:02:49moreno has been replaced by thomas rapetti
00:02:55six caps for rapetti earning his seventh all the speed and force are generated by him learning
00:03:01his trade really at this international level
00:03:10for francisco moreno the big hefty argentinian titan who started today on debut
00:03:19this is
00:03:30contact in the air the easiest way to explain it
00:03:33how much please
00:03:34five-man line-out argentina secured labanini off the top carrera's been good in the first half
00:03:47as uh broadona carries on in good form the switch momentum argentina keep it alive back in field materia
00:03:58so much the toy hunts and dad makes the stop
00:04:08busy in the first half as boris weger
00:04:33and this time it was edwulf under maverick he's just made that rushing defense and
00:04:37the ball catcher just looked up and saw him coming from the almost the blind side of his his open
00:04:44eyes
00:04:44and eyes off the ball and the little knock-on came and then the penalty at the breakdown just behind
00:04:48the markers just that rushed defense of the spring which is so hard to beat at times
00:04:57still no word on the injury to siak alisi by the way

00:06:03careerist put behind the game nice he'll go back to the penalty

00:11:38Okay, we're good to go now. Argentina behind.
00:11:46Carreras restarts, centre field.

00:12:07And all looked really slick.
00:12:09Salamiga just running out of space.
00:12:11That last defender, the touchline coming into play there.
00:12:15Team are able to shift, just get across there and cover that last line.
00:12:19Thank you for it.
00:12:21Well read by the very experienced Santiago Carreras,
00:12:25the last defender.
00:12:25He's been standing at the back all day in defence.
00:12:30At the tail, tapped backwards, outside shoulder, it looked like.
00:12:33And Hopla wins the scraps for South Africa.
00:12:38Pick up and drive.
00:12:39And that's it, Corbeth Vissak.
00:12:41Who's just come on.
00:12:43Go, go, go, go, go.
00:12:47Jeffrey Porton as well.
00:12:48First contribution, same side goal this spring.
00:12:50But Hopla gets man and ball.
00:12:52Was that a high tackle on him?
00:12:54Referee's happy.
00:12:58Ball squad has come on.
00:13:00Jetting a bit of pace in South Africa's attack.
00:13:04Meter away from the try line.
00:13:06According for it, they're going to get it.
00:13:07And it's markup and started.
00:13:09He's held up.
00:13:11Outstanding defence, Argentina.
00:13:13Esther Azen puts his shoulder in.
00:13:17And that is held up.
00:13:19Brilliant, brilliant, Argentina.
00:13:26Courageous, brave defence.
00:13:29Immediately there's a little real urgency from the, the bomb squad, the bench that have come on for South Africa.
00:13:37Tempo is up a little, the pace is up.
00:13:41Charging the gain line, really controlling that contact area right now.
00:13:45Let's go.
00:13:51The best flag of 57th no- più era.
00:14:01Cameron Henkel...
00:14:02Cameron Henkel, winding up.
00:14:05Not in good defence, Argentina.
00:14:09Agrolla.
00:14:11Slowly growing in stature.者
00:14:14alone.
00:14:15problem used to raise him running onto the ball the screen look back great
00:14:25communication from Argentina
00:14:31South Africa is taking game by the spring box they need a contestable they
00:14:36need to win it back don't want to give possession away from the Mavis gets in
00:14:42among the Argentine players the loose and tidy ball cleanup at the back from
00:14:50Santini Argentina use it 17 with the parents touch cons everything down he's
00:15:06only got five seconds to use it it was border maybe I was counting down
00:15:15no dummy no dummy yes there's a big and strong and powerful four defenders to stop him scoring
00:15:22held and holding him up five if you count the last man who joins them
00:15:31Argentina to compete
00:15:34line-out is good
00:15:40brother of Jasper Viseb Corbis Viseb Edlo van der Maverick this kick gets charged down
00:15:46too late now
00:15:53Joseph Dixon is also coming for the Springboks
00:16:01Reinhardt's pass is a crisp one, as Dresden finds his center partner Moody, Wiese, he loves
00:16:10the physicality, Sporos Wiese, he's not carrying this knee.
00:16:17Gomesulo, Feinberg, Gomesulo to Kanan Moody, from Sterling.
00:16:20Gomesulo, Feinberg, Gomesulo, Feinberg, Gomesulo, Feinberg.
00:16:306 phases plus for the spring loss.
00:16:37Outstanding defence Argenti, breaking the spring loss rhythm.
00:16:43Closing the space quickly, coming up and taking the momentum away.
00:16:46It's a lifted well to tidy up that one ball.
00:16:50Use it.
00:16:53Can't be off to for another kick so close.
00:16:56Mitenapenanda in the 22.
00:17:00It's a tidy loose ball.
00:17:02Out, out, out, out, out.
00:17:03Out, out, out, out, out.
00:17:05Kain by the spring-box.
00:17:11Reinhardt, Heineko, Ezewe.
00:17:15Loose pass.
00:17:16Feinberg, Gomezulu.
00:17:18Lost their shape, the spring-box.
00:17:21I got that on the shoulder.
00:17:23I got it on the shoulder.
00:17:24Powerful, outstanding work.
00:17:26Cameron, Heineko, securing position.
00:17:29Ezewe.
00:17:31No, no, no. Not on top.
00:17:32They're slowed it down.
00:17:33He's being pinned on top.
00:17:35Up you get, lads. Up you get.
00:17:37Moody goes direct.
00:17:41Good luck. It's my tackle.
00:17:42Up to the physical contest, Argentina.
00:17:50Over the top pass Ethan Hooker.
00:17:52Hooker.
00:17:56Argentina's defence stands strong.
00:17:57Stjenica.
00:18:05Wiese.
00:18:07Five metres away now, the Springboks.
00:18:10Zechri 40. Still goes.
00:18:13The youngster placement tight end prop.
00:18:17Dixon.
00:18:18He's short. Quick ball for Reiner.
00:18:23He's slow.
00:18:25Drobler. Drobler has a goal.
00:18:27Christopher.
00:18:30I'm sure this will be referred to the TMO of Ben Whitehouse.
00:18:33I've got a branding, but I'm just going to double-check whether or not there's a double movement.
00:18:38He's never scored in the green and gold in South Africa.
00:18:41Could this be the one?
00:18:43Yeah, got you Ben.
00:18:43I heard your first part.
00:18:45I heard your first part.
00:18:45We're also going to clear whether it was in touch.
00:18:48Why do we have that be in touch?
00:18:49Okay.
00:18:50Let's put it on the screen then.
00:18:51Let's box off whether it's in touch.
00:18:53And then let's box off potential double movement.
00:18:56There's just two things we're checking.
00:18:57Just allow us to do that.
00:19:01Right at the very beginning, wasn't it?
00:19:03We're checking for potentially in touch and then whether or not that's double movement.
00:19:07Do you mind if we just check them first?
00:19:10Okay.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:14Ready when you are, Ben.
00:19:16Experience even it's a bit.
00:19:17Okay.
00:19:18We'll start with touch.
00:19:19Let's do it chronologically then.
00:19:21Touch.
00:19:22Then try.
00:19:25Yeah, just bear with me, Christoph.
00:19:27Could be 14 or 15 times.
00:19:28You've been into it.
00:19:29Here's the first one.
00:19:31He's got the grab and his arm goes into touch out.
00:19:35And he's touching the ball.
00:19:36And he's in possession and he's clearly in touch.
00:19:38Okay.
00:19:39So we're going back for a line out.
00:19:41It was probably three minutes of the game, to be honest.
00:19:43You can never get that time back.
00:19:45But when you're ready.
00:19:46The right decision will be made eventually.
00:19:48The crowd could have told us all about it three minutes ago.
00:19:51When you're ready, I've got a decision then.
00:19:52That's almost.
00:19:55One probably as a try.
00:19:57It doesn't matter now.
00:19:58Back to the referee, please.
00:19:59Sorry, Christoph.
00:20:00Too shame.
00:20:03Okay.
00:20:04Prior to the potential try, the player is in touch with his arm and he's in possession.
00:20:09So no try.
00:20:10Line out.
00:20:2310 meters inside.
00:20:26I'll tell you where to stop.
00:20:28Keep going.
00:20:29Line out.
00:20:30Your ball.
00:20:31Your ball.
00:20:32The bench has come on for the Springboks.
00:20:38We know.
00:20:39I'll make sure you have time, guys.
00:20:42Another change in the corner.
00:20:44Time back on, please.
00:20:45Time back on, please.
00:20:47Guys, the substitution is complete.
00:20:53Yeah, you're dead right about the influence of the bench.
00:20:55We thought it would be the case, though.
00:20:57We said it just after halftime.
00:20:59Time back on, please.
00:21:00Real urgency.
00:21:00Real burning desire to get going forward to cross the game.
00:21:04I can cross the trial line from the South African bench.
00:21:13Off the top for Matera.
00:21:16And a bit of pressure is Carreras.
00:21:19Oh, got out of jail.
00:21:20That is brilliant.
00:21:21Edgar Funam over for the Springboks.
00:21:26Tackles are made by Argentina.
00:21:28Possession, South Africa.
00:21:31Hanukum.
00:21:36The counter.
00:21:37Ooh.
00:21:38Pressure on the Springboks' breakdown point.
00:21:41Reiner.
00:21:42Counter unlucky.
00:21:44Just holding front.
00:21:44Panbe Gomesulu.
00:21:46Not the best kick.
00:21:51Pelele Fassi.
00:21:54The Springboks have gone backwards at a pace here.
00:22:00Reiner 22m line.
00:22:04Reiner 22m line.
00:22:06The life of 100 and 3m1.
00:22:08The life of Andre Pollard.
00:22:08One, if an inverse.
00:22:09Yes, inside!
00:22:10Inside!squealsen
00:22:12Coastal 15m1 courserisencocellswarforsh�ei. Before South Africa.
00:22:23Against Argentinial
00:22:24representatives who Hegel serve for that A Man, he
00:22:27has had left down. Fourmen is passed.
00:22:39finding space Argentina might have been brilliant tonight
00:22:46dominated that first half late try to level the scores the end of the first half by the
00:22:52game okay lost now 17 lost thank you use it you are not
00:23:04first year to meet it
00:23:06and advantage appealing a fussy with the jet shoes funding women's unit support
00:23:15it needs to keep it alive it's gone loose probably cleans up
00:23:21why not jump jump jumped into the tackle even it's a bit in a penalty to Argentina
00:23:39I know it feels harsh because you're tackled but you cannot jump into a tackle
00:23:43I felt you jumped in possession you can't do that as a penalty
00:23:49and you might be wondering why the onus on the ball carry it to make it safe for the
00:23:53tackler as well very dangerous if you come in for a tackle and someone tries to hurdle you
00:23:58will jump over you jump into the tackle like it and of course it's all instinctive it's
00:24:02nothing intentional it's just part of the safety element of the game
00:24:07and it's just part of the game
00:24:11and it's just part of the game
00:24:1520 more minutes left in this clash
00:24:17time off just making some changes
00:24:20and dangerous for himself as well by jumping into this
00:24:25is quite easier his foot ripped out
00:24:28OK, good to go.
00:24:41A lot of answers for Garcia Erasmus,
00:24:44with players coming back to fitness.
00:24:48A very tough away fixture against Argentina.
00:24:52Test of character.
00:24:53He's not going and flowing the way Springboks are used to it,
00:24:57what we saw in the Nations Championship.
00:25:00Argentina, taking the opportunity to play against the Springboks
00:25:05world champions, really put them under pressure.
00:25:11Carreras, how could he be in it?
00:25:15Fly hard.
00:25:15Find back Gomez.
00:25:16Keep going, thank you.
00:25:18Turns Argentina.
00:25:21Carreras.
00:25:26Andre Pollard has come on.
00:25:28Pollard finds Ethan Hooker.
00:25:30Back in field is Hooker.
00:25:33Cameron Hanukov, outstanding.
00:25:34He's been good.
00:25:36Dixon.
00:25:41Fandenberg.
00:25:42That report.
00:25:44Steps.
00:25:45Tighted drop.
00:25:48OK, South Africa use.
00:25:52Fandenberg.
00:25:55Contestable is in the air.
00:25:56That's allowing the Springboks players to get underneath it.
00:25:58Play on.
00:25:59Play on.
00:26:00Pobla.
00:26:03Fandenberg.
00:26:04Pollard.
00:26:0519.
00:26:06Drives Argentina back.
00:26:08Chase from Fandemurva.
00:26:10A tackle.
00:26:11Now Moody, another tackle.
00:26:13Odds held up.
00:26:15It looks promising from the Springboks.
00:26:17The ball was pulled.
00:26:19And turn over ball.
00:26:24The old wise head of Andre Pollard looking for a bit of space towards that corner.
00:26:29Quite an awkward little bounce.
00:26:32Allow the defenders to hold up.
00:26:36The last man left to find a way to save the ball.
00:26:45It's not quite a hospital pass.
00:26:51Certainly a difficult one to deal with.
00:26:52From Nizio Asinti's beauty.
00:26:56Probably the main protagonist who's made the stand up hold and turned it into a ball.
00:27:05Change at hooker coming as well.
00:27:06Jan Hendrik Vessels comes on.
00:27:08Jan Hendrik Vessels goes off.
00:27:09As the Springbok bench is empty.
00:27:20The bench has really brought in something.
00:27:22Energy.
00:27:25Mostly just seeing where the opportunities are from the bench.
00:27:29The experience of Andre Pollard.
00:27:33The sharpness and eagle eye of Mornay van den Berg.
00:27:40And it's a great foil, isn't it?
00:27:42Mornay van den Berg.
00:27:43That's quite exciting.
00:27:45A little feisty scrum off.
00:27:46A real handful around the fringes.
00:27:48Andre Pollard.
00:27:49The old hand.
00:27:49Steady-eady.
00:27:50He'll kick the goals and make the right calls at the right time.
00:27:56Strong performance.
00:27:59Jan Pobla.
00:28:01Thought he had his first test drive for South African.
00:28:04Yeah.
00:28:05Not to be though.
00:28:07And again, I think Ben Jason Dixon.
00:28:10Injection of pace goes.
00:28:11Wiese's been good mark if I'm started.
00:28:15Cameron Hannikoff.
00:28:17In the stand-up play.
00:28:18Scream of Paco Ford.
00:28:19He was down with a couple of carries.
00:28:23Slick hand, man, skillful front runner.
00:28:27Is he making notes on his phone?
00:28:29Or is he?
00:28:31Scream of Paco Ford.
00:28:31Ops.
00:28:32Ops.
00:28:33Ops.
00:28:33Ops.
00:28:33Ops.
00:28:34Ops.
00:28:35Ops.
00:28:35Ops.
00:28:35Ops.
00:28:36Ops.
00:28:36Ops.
00:28:38Ops.
00:28:39Ops.
00:28:49Ops.
00:28:49Controlled in one at the back.
00:28:51Oh, it's Cameron Hanukom.
00:28:53First point in the second half.
00:28:55Yeah, and it's a massive Scrum, isn't it?
00:28:57It's what we've become accustomed to.
00:29:00Springbok power, Scrum dominance.
00:29:03Penalties come.
00:29:04The arm was out.
00:29:05Advantage played.
00:29:06And Cameron Hanukom just controlled it beautifully as the Scrum carried on going forward.
00:29:11Eventually makes the pick and go.
00:29:14Wonderfully done.
00:29:15Try all good.
00:29:18Yeah, so close for Mone van der Berg.
00:29:22I thought he had his hands on the ball.
00:29:25Cameron Hanukom, his first Springbok try.
00:29:32Andre Pollard with the conversion for his kick of the match.
00:29:41Yes, it's good.
00:29:42Wasn't convincing at the strike.
00:29:45Doesn't matter.
00:29:46Two points, betable ones.
00:29:50Yeah, you're right.
00:29:51It was a low win.
00:29:52It was like there was a Gale Force win.
00:29:53He was playing it to catch it low, but over it went.
00:29:5817 points to 10.
00:30:0818 points to 10 points to 10 points to 10 points to 10 points to 10 points to 10 points

00:30:29is clearance who's looking at tanking kick all of a side and for argentina
00:30:34pollard under pressure
00:30:46okay use it south africa
00:30:54is well managed by christian teddy carreras counter attack argentina long pass out wide not a kind
00:31:03bounce it turns out to be a net gain from the kick from the base from the springbook strum off
00:31:17the bench empty if he isn't that is a problem from south africa
00:31:23santiago carrera line out
00:31:27across he stays in a lot and he's playing against each other sent us down there yeah we're looking at
00:31:34the back road
00:31:40trying to say it's an hia he's coming off his leg yeah great is correct so no foul play correct
00:31:48yeah
00:31:53conversation between ben white and chris ridley
00:32:05okay
00:32:07just hit on the wrong side there may well be a little bump on the head
00:32:10okay scrum hands which i mean someone can replace his stays
00:32:19set and control and that ball i think abalelefasi would come back on
00:32:33and that's exactly what's happening
00:32:55Yeah, coming around the corner, Argentina.
00:33:16Into touch, and line out for the Springboks.
00:33:22Guys, guys, can we just look up?
00:33:26They're prepping across Argentina.
00:33:44Vissels, the line out is good, Vissel brings down.
00:33:49The reaction is world-class from Argentina.
00:33:52There's so much momentum in the pre-set by the Springboks.
00:33:59The second shove, Moine van den Berg is also getting involved.
00:34:03Nine looks to use.
00:34:04Nine's got to use it.
00:34:06Dab through, sits up for Moody.
00:34:08No, does it?
00:34:09Tidy up by Argentina.
00:34:11Prisant Tidy at the back.
00:34:15Gave a little dink from Andre Pollard.
00:34:18And there is fussy, so he is allowed back on.
00:34:21Stop nine, stop there.
00:34:29Okay.
00:34:30Funderburg-Gomezu-Loo.
00:34:33Not the best.
00:34:35Up and under.
00:34:36He wins it back.
00:34:38No contest by Argentina.
00:34:40Can start and gets manhandled.
00:34:44Funderburg-Stirnekam.
00:34:46That's Lusek-Kroc.
00:34:51South Africa, use it!
00:34:57Wait.
00:35:01Thunder Booms kick.
00:35:03Looking to win it back.
00:35:05Tap back, but won by the debut on to Elias.
00:35:11Fassi.
00:35:14That's it!
00:35:15Gomesulu.
00:35:17Checked out, hunted hard.
00:35:18Couldn't work that from Mojano.
00:35:21Jumped out of the way, it's a matter to go out of the way.
00:35:22Keep going, Agustin.
00:35:25Mojano.
00:35:34That's gone now, thank you.
00:35:37South Africa, use it!
00:35:45It's a contestable, goes into touch.
00:35:47Didn't touch anyone.
00:35:49Correct.
00:35:50South Africa's kicking game, not as accurate as we've seen it in the past.
00:35:54This is not too close, not going far enough, or maybe one or two going backwards even.
00:35:59Even that one from Mourne van der Berg, just probably not far enough.
00:36:03The crit is going to go early on that first half.
00:36:05Mandy Isgro managed to really dominate the aerial game.
00:36:09It's not in straight.
00:36:13The spring loss kicking game hasn't been good ever since.
00:36:17No teams go on.
00:36:19Massively not straight.
00:36:20Massively not straight, in other words.
00:36:22Sum it up.
00:36:25Time off a second.
00:36:26Just got this prop treated.
00:36:29The replacement hooker with the skeet-throw on debut.
00:36:33You okay?
00:36:35You good?
00:36:38Wonderful, thanks.
00:36:39I'm going to see you daily.
00:36:46Alright, let's go lads.
00:36:47I'm going to see you next time.
00:36:471, two, three.
00:36:471, two, three.
00:36:47And result, 2026.
00:36:50More rugby championships of Argentina.
00:36:52Next time will be against Australia.
00:36:57Yeah.
00:36:58And of course these are all friendlies, aren't they?
00:36:59And then end of here we get back into the Nations Cup.
00:37:02With Southern Amherst teams touring the North.
00:37:07A superb initiative.
00:37:09Joel just brought so much interest in the international game
00:37:12during the Chiefs series, played in the USA 16th of August, Argentina and then Australia,
00:37:22in the big greatest rivalry in South Africa. South Africa will take on New Zealand.
00:37:30First hit, yeah. First gone on the 22nd of August.
00:37:36Now the penalty advantage is scrum time. Gomez Ulu to Fassi.
00:37:41He's got hooker on the outside, a penalty to Fassi, cuts in field.
00:37:45Vandenberg, same side go to Springboks, Hanecom.
00:37:50Vandenberg. Vise. And the advantage is over for the Springboks.
00:37:56Advantage overnight, just so you know. Pace. No pull on the ball.
00:38:02And Springboks, just more synergy as well, since the guys have come over the top pass, finds Dixon.
00:38:10The dummy, Dixon, foot in touch.
00:38:14Look, it's gone not way back there.
00:38:20A little bit of stand and deliver from the South African backstay.
00:38:23Trying to just maybe barb a little time to get it right in the long Sydney Harbour Bridge pass.
00:38:29Not able to stay and play on the outside South Africa.
00:38:33Yeah.
00:38:39Numbers, guys. Numbers.
00:38:40Yeah, size 30 shoes. What do you expect, Joel?
00:38:44Yeah, that back heel does just go down and lifts up again.
00:38:47Okay, let's go down Argentina.
00:38:47And Jason Dixon is a big old unit, is the big fella.
00:38:52Off the top, Argentina.
00:38:54Will they have the final say less than ten minutes left in the flash against the world champions?
00:39:03Edwin Fundamerva.
00:39:04The Sharks at Wiener, cheers him to touch.
00:39:07A net gain for Argentina.
00:39:09Oh, a massive net gain, isn't it?
00:39:11Wonderful kick down the middle, finding a better grasp, kicking forward.
00:39:15Awkward for that man, Edwin Fundamerva.
00:39:18Not renowned for his kicking skill.
00:39:21Finds the sanctuary of the touch line, but big net gain.
00:39:29Vido.
00:39:30Hang on, sorry lads, there's a second ball.
00:39:33There's a second ball.
00:39:36Lads, relax.
00:39:39Hands down, relax.
00:39:41We're just going to take it again.
00:39:42We had a second ball on the pitch.
00:39:44Let's go again.
00:39:47Might be a friendly, or is there such thing even as a rugby friendly?
00:39:56Lionel Ovedio feeds.
00:40:00He's gone over the top.
00:40:02And charged hard.
00:40:04Sinti
00:40:13Mojano, pressure, looks like the forward, already showing like a hot potato but their
00:40:20passes are sticking, Van der Merwe, opportunity on the outside, backs himself straight through
00:40:25the middle, track down from Mojano, the tackle is good, Van den Berg for the Springboks.
00:40:29Dixon has also been outstanding since it's come out.
00:40:35Dab over the top, the hooker to chase, Ethan Hooker chasing hard, doesn't get the bounce.
00:40:41The recovery for Margentina, world class performance must be said, multiple changes, some of the
00:40:52first choice players not available, but the youngsters have put their hands up.
00:40:58And even amongst those youngsters, you need a couple of old heads, and Santiago Guerrero
00:41:03has been sensational this afternoon, defended at 15, attacked at 10, been a wise old head,
00:41:09mature decision-maker, and good executor under pressure.
00:41:13And having said all that, the same would be said of South Africa, number of changes, players
00:41:18back from injury, the bench has come on, made a huge difference.
00:41:23Just the intensity is up, got their team ahead on the scoreboard and looking to hold on now.
00:41:31Let's go, boys!
00:41:33Let's go, boys!
00:41:33Let's go, boys!
00:41:34Let's go, boys!
00:41:35Let's go.
00:41:35Let's go.
00:41:35Let's go.
00:41:36Let's go.
00:41:49Let's go.
00:41:50Let's go.
00:41:59Let's go.
00:42:02play find a global Zulu returns the favor and finds touch
00:42:12he's so cool and calm and connected
00:42:16there's really for some of us sitting at home
00:42:21wonderful careers look like for all money it was going to be a 50-22 as it
00:42:26bounces it hops forward and he's so calm taps it back
00:42:34gathers call me the fingers upon him made the little inside pass and a good
00:42:39clearance right five minutes can Argentina level the schools it's another
00:42:48loose line-out on the court
00:42:57South Africa use it wait wait yes
00:43:02did you put a pressure and a springboard scrum
00:43:14you can understand the thought process they're eating by seven they want
00:43:18Argentina to start from deep kick force a bit of pressure kicking them not
00:43:24accurate and up right now
00:43:27fun big woman Zulu straight up the middle we get his own kick or the kick
00:43:33charge down the idea was good Carreras stopping it like a goalie
00:43:47Argentina use it let go let go let go
00:43:54Carreras kick pass
00:43:57Kamehsoulu knocks on
00:44:00chance for Argentina
00:44:02the first point
00:44:14three minutes left this clock counting down means Argentina under a lot of time pressure
00:44:23He's got to be thinking he's, he's got to be man of the match, you would think.
00:44:33He's been absolutely outstanding.
00:44:37He nearly got away there.
00:44:41He's the long on.
00:44:43Nathan Ilka does well to get back and make the tackle.
00:44:53I hope we get scrapped well as well.
00:44:56You know, we're so used to polished performances from the Springboks.
00:45:01We knew today wouldn't be one of those polished performances.
00:45:05We knew there'd be an element of having to scrap to get it over the line against the Argentinian team
00:45:12that is full of enthusiasm and energy and really laid their hearts and souls on the line.
00:45:18And South Africa found a way, as it stands, to hang in there when they're not at their best and
00:45:25still be in control to some extent.
00:45:29You know, the big test series coming up against the All Blacks.
00:45:32I think Sasha finding Gomezulu as the game progressed got better.
00:45:37I think he'll be able to check.
00:45:39He'll be able to put in some minutes under the belt.
00:45:42A full lady minutes, by the way.
00:45:45Concerned for Sia Khaleesi coming off injured.
00:45:49I think the bench as well.
00:45:50Almost, you know, Ben Jason Dixon, he's somewhere there about in the match 23.
00:45:58Vessel's been good.
00:46:02Vessel brought something when he came on, taught him as well.
00:46:07This is some tough decisions for Rocio Rasmus.
00:46:15At this sort of level.
00:46:17Five.
00:46:18Five.
00:46:21Five.
00:46:22Five.
00:46:22Five.
00:46:24That's a great hit.
00:46:25Best of the night.
00:46:26Best of the evening.
00:46:27No strike for Argentinian.
00:46:29It's our parcel that engagement was from South Africa.
00:46:32Let's try at the moment, but looking to have the final save.
00:46:35The fans face on the left three.
00:46:37Tackle Edwin Fannamerva.
00:46:39Intercept.
00:46:42Argentina with position.
00:46:44Easy, easy.
00:46:45No one to go in.
00:46:45No one go in.
00:46:46Stop, stop.
00:46:47Got to do better.
00:46:49The players got to do a bit better.
00:46:51One of the scenes we saw in the Nations Championship.
00:46:55Argentina was involved against England.
00:46:58Seven yellow cards on that occasion.
00:47:00An incident at the back of the game.
00:47:02Again, really just touching the line.
00:47:03They brought an hand.
00:47:0990 seconds to go.
00:47:11Last throw of the dice here for the home team.
00:47:13Lost rumours at home.
00:47:15They've claimed some built scalps before in Argentina.
00:47:18Can they do it again?
00:47:20Yes, we'll do.
00:47:21I'll do it from two.
00:47:21Moroni, the experienced 35-year-old has come on.
00:47:25Taking play to the halfway.
00:47:27Options both sides.
00:47:28Same side go Argentina.
00:47:31Can't afford to infringe the Springboks.
00:47:34They take up space defensively.
00:47:37Let go, tackle.
00:47:38Now it's a tackle.
00:47:44What did they just give position away?
00:47:46Will this work out?
00:47:47Yes.
00:47:47It works out.
00:47:48Dry as a Springboks.
00:47:50Deep in here on 22.
00:47:52Seconds, the man of the club, Joe Stransky.
00:47:55But is it a 50-22?
00:47:56That's what's most important.
00:47:58If it's a celebration pudding,
00:48:02it's probably not the right decision.
00:48:04It might well be a 50-22.
00:48:06Breakdown was inside the Argentinian.
00:48:09And half the kick is excellent from Papahitari.
00:48:13And a 50-22 it is.
00:48:16Well, I didn't expect it from a flank forward must be said.
00:48:19I thought it was also a little grabber.
00:48:23Stroke of brilliance from the captain.
00:48:25Can they win the line-out though?
00:48:2630 seconds.
00:48:2830 seconds.
00:48:30Springboks.
00:48:31Will they compete?
00:48:33No, they don't.
00:48:34In the front for Petit.
00:48:36The breakaway Argentina.
00:48:37The carry from Isgro.
00:48:40Mojana.
00:48:42The replacement hooker Ovidio.
00:48:45Dixon.
00:48:47Penalty advantage Argentina.
00:48:50Rapoteno to level the scores.
00:48:535, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:48:55Argentina on the attack.
00:48:58The pick up and drive.
00:48:59The Hooter goes.
00:49:03There's only been one draw between the two teams.
00:49:05Could this be the second one?
00:49:06And back to the penalty.
00:49:11One draw before back in 2012.
00:49:16Converted try.
00:49:19The second draw between the two international AB teams.
00:49:26Stroke of brilliance from Pablo Matera.
00:49:31Wasn't too certain a flank forward to see that face.
00:49:41I think he's guilty of kicking it away but it was a free play really
00:49:49guys are you ready you ready Argentina gonna tap and go we've been told
00:49:59I'll see it's very good long what a finish
00:50:05stadia Joseph Josie I'm a tiny spring box have played your full time before never
00:50:12lost crowd gets behind Argentina at home and rightly so
00:50:20Valarolo made it available career is calling for change of direction repeats
00:50:26is carrying as quality the try line in sight Argentina spring box defending
00:50:32their line with all their might is it enough it was level the end of the first
00:50:40half what a finish spring box first away game of the year Argentina match
00:50:49improvement from what they saw in the nation's championship be buzzed the
00:50:54experience pro fool
00:51:00video on debut
00:51:05spring books take a space Dixon with the tackle they need to run away it's all
00:51:10about position it is about the ball
00:51:13Zachary Fulton gets involved could that be it no Argentina secures
00:51:18and that's what they've been brilliant and throughout the whole game it's been their
00:51:21ball retention
00:51:25Prisantelli keeps it in play Argentina still goes 13 phases discipline brilliant by the
00:51:32spring box but you need more than the discipline you need the ball hundred
00:51:36the player
00:51:36Pala he's missed it around the corner numbers lining up final pass
00:51:42they've dropped it on
00:51:45unreal
00:51:46unreal
00:51:48cannot be
00:51:51this is not the finish
00:51:54that this test match deserves.
00:51:57The players gave it all.
00:51:59The experience, Matias Moroni,
00:52:03has won it before for Argentina
00:52:05against the World Best.
00:52:08Today, couldn't hang on to that final pass.
00:52:12Final score, 17 points to 10.
00:52:15The Springboks are victorious,
00:52:17but don't let that scoreline fool you.
00:52:20It was a full-on test match.
00:52:23Argentina, Jolz Jansky, gave it all.
00:52:26Absolutely, gutsy, resolute.
00:52:28They had a chance at the end to get the draw.
00:52:30Well, the try, they would have given them the chance
00:52:32to get the conversion and get the draw.
00:52:34But South Africa, that defensive set at the end
00:52:37under enormous pressure, made the tackles,
00:52:39drove them back, conceded finally
00:52:42a little bit of space in the corner.
00:52:43There was still cover defense getting across there.
00:52:46Moroni certainly had his work cut out
00:52:48if he was to score.
00:52:49But an opportunity nonetheless.
00:52:51A wonderful test match.
00:52:53Both coaches will be very proud of their teams.
00:52:55Certainly, mission accomplished for both teams.
00:52:57Young debut chance spread for Argentina.
00:53:00The old injured players for South Africa
00:53:02coming back to the fore.
00:53:04Exebreze playing a full 80 minutes
00:53:05and looking very good indeed.
00:53:07Well, the big question, who will make it
00:53:09into the greatest rivalry test series
00:53:12amongst these players, some stayed in South Africa
00:53:15and a group travel to Argentina.
00:53:17The result is in the bag.
00:53:20Some questions answered, some not.
00:53:23But Rusty Rasmus has got to make that final call.
00:53:26Argentina better improved performance
00:53:29from what we saw in the Nations Championship.
00:53:31He'll go back and feel the youthful inclusion
00:53:34for uncapped players to take on the world champions.
00:53:38A lot of answers for Felipe Contepomi.
00:53:43He'll be pleased with the performance of Argentina.
00:53:49Well, Moroni disappointed at the end.
00:53:52They put the spread blocks under pressure.
00:53:56Remember, they conceded against Wales and Durban, Joel.
00:54:02Just the one try tonight against them.
00:54:05The low flowed, which saw Grandono go clear.
00:54:08Santiago Carreras was good at 10 for Argentina.
00:54:12Just brought another dimension.
00:54:14South Africa 2 at 10 at Sasha Fambit.
00:54:16And Domazulu, good to see him back.
00:54:18Good to see him in the fold.
00:54:20Confidently taking on contact.
00:54:22And a great performance from Cameron Hunderkom.
00:54:26Behind the bench, too.
00:54:27The likes of Gorgas Fises.
00:54:29Andrew Porten, Steinergum, Vessels.
00:54:31Ben Chase and Dixon.
00:54:33Marko van Staden had come in early
00:54:35to replace Sia Kulisi.
00:54:37Andre Pollard had some outstanding touches
00:54:39with the boot.
00:54:40Moroni van den Berg.
00:54:42Really bringing the pace and intensity
00:54:45required of the breakdown.
00:54:47Another test match won
00:54:49by the Springboks.
00:54:50Fifth one for the 2026 season.
00:54:52The final pass.
00:54:54The knock-on.
00:54:56So much.
00:54:58Must have been going through Moroni's mind.
00:55:01Try line in sight.
00:55:02Number 98 test matches
00:55:04for Argentina.
00:55:0514 tries.
00:55:06He's played in G-Rugby World Cup.
00:55:10He's produced better
00:55:11and we've seen better from him
00:55:14as supporters of this beautiful game of rugby.
00:55:18Not to be his day.
00:55:19Matias Moroni.
00:55:20Or for Argentina.
00:55:21But we can definitely hold the heads up high.
00:55:25What a performance, Argentina.
00:55:26You say it's good.
00:55:28I think it's good.
00:55:31I think it's good.
00:55:33I think it's good.
00:55:35I think it's good.
00:55:36And Felipe Conteponi will be happy
00:55:38with the performance.
00:55:40Moroni.
00:55:4198th test match.
00:55:42To be fair,
00:55:43it wasn't the easiest ball to gather.
00:55:45the other man who might have been quite relieved of Sasha Feinberg and
00:55:49Godzulu was coming across you have to make the tackle
00:55:53so disappointment for Argentina elation for South Africa they won't be quite
00:56:01excited about their performance they'll be happy with a victory there was a lot
00:56:04of good they'd expect a lot more though from this team
00:56:12we got the one the first South African try in the corner was a wonderful bit of work
00:56:19from Estes and then from Moody and the good timing of the pass from Apalele Fassi
00:56:24just freed him up into the corner showed some real toe to get over the line
00:56:30wonderful to see Luet de Yaga back in action
00:56:33the second row partner here when Edzebeth the two of them did pretty well
00:56:3880 minutes for Edzebeth hasn't played for an age with de Yaga just the 44 minutes but a good 44
00:56:45minutes
00:56:45it was the one concern for Rossi Erasmus that of Sia Khaleesi
00:56:49Lim talked after about 25 minutes his replacement Markov from Staten was wonderful tonight
00:56:54he wanted guts and a massive part of that defensive line that defensive effort towards the end
00:57:04me be happy with his new sport true or two
00:57:10were pretty good Pablo Matera we expect him to be outstanding he was
00:57:14he's led well led from the floor behind him Benetez Cruz was good Carreras was fantastic
00:57:23Sinti not bad Prisantelli was quite good at the back as well I thought
00:57:27yeah Joel I think that the combination of Carreras and Prisantelli both of them
00:57:31can play and fly off they do for their clubs you know one for Bath one for Racing 92
00:57:37and both have played 10th for Argentina in 15 so he settled outstanding and also Valarolo
00:57:44only his third test match for Argentina the 22 year old so the future looks bright
00:57:50if you think of a bigger squad required for for the Rugby World Cup next year
00:57:54and of course a lot of players on debut the one that really stood out was Francisco Moreno the big
00:58:00heavy tight head prop the front row went off at half time but he had a wonderful 40 minutes
00:58:05first scrum he came a little unstuck but from then on he was strong resolute determined made a lot of
00:58:10tackles in defense he's a big strong powerful lad and when he when he hits you when he makes a
00:58:16tackle
00:58:16you stay hit don't you yeah and the beauty body comes he comes to the the local uh super america
00:58:22cup
00:58:22uh and he plays for tarot cast remember they were part of a super regular back in the day so
00:58:27it's only a matter of time before the 24 year old gets a a club overseas you know you think
00:58:34of
00:58:34uh rapetti 21 tighter prop came on he's already out there playing for to lose
00:58:40and also makes it challenging where so many of the players play in europe for for argentina
00:58:45that that off season that they don't really get much of it because the top players come back they're
00:58:50going to play for argentina so it's a blessing in disguise this year not having a rugby championship
00:58:55where you can bladen the youngsters for next year's rugby walker yeah and as much as you
00:59:00you want that team to be winning and winning test matches quite right at a time like this wonderful
00:59:05opportunity to get some of those young guys give them a little taste of test rugby russi erasmus does
00:59:10it so well with the springbok camps the gets he gets the youngsters involved sends them back to
00:59:15to you know learn more and then brings them in a little bit later again once they've had a taste
00:59:19it's a wonderful way of introducing young players into the system yeah i think some of the work
00:59:25cons what we've seen from the spring box is the kicking game kicking game needs a bit of a
00:59:32improvement we saw a lot better well full-time scores 17 points to 10 south africa victorious
00:59:41against argentina a job well done for russi erasmus and his charges away from our spend the week in
00:59:48argentina another trophy for the cabinet in south africa not too much excitement the crowd have left
00:59:59but still as you so pull that trophy cabinet up and to go and win in argentina always tough never
01:00:06easy
01:00:07today certainly wasn't a narrow victory but a victory nonetheless

01:00:57the opportunities that they gave but they're also a great team um they're very passionate they're very
01:01:02similar to us that's why we love coming here and and and obviously they have a lot of guys who
01:01:07got
01:01:07opportunities i know people will say their best team didn't play but there's more depth for them
