South Africa just about clung on for a 17-10 victory over a depleted Argentina in Buenos Aires – though were dealt a huge injury scare ahead of four Tests against New Zealand.
The Springboks continued their winning streak with a hard-fought win secured by a last goalline stand on a day where both sides failed to fire in attack and defences dominated. Argentina, missing plenty of regular starters, could take huge credit from a strong showing though were left to rue a series of missed opportunities and a faltering second-half set-piece.
