South Africa hooker Malcolm Marx scored a try in the final minute of the game to secure a 36-20 bonus-point victory over Argentina at Estadio Libertadores de America in Buenos Aires on Saturday.

The result sees the Springboks join New Zealand on 14 points on the competition table and keeps them in hunt for the Rugby Championship title with one round of fixtures left to play. They host Argentina in Durban next weekend with the All Blacks facing Australia at home.

A penalty try and tries for scrumhalf Jaden Hendrikse, two for Marx and one for centre Damian de Allende saw the Springboks dominate the contest in Buenos Aires as they outclassed their opponents to lead 22-6 at the break.

However, after a tactical start to the second half the Pumas fought back with a penalty try of their own before Matias Moroni crosses the line to bring them within two points 22-20 away again. Their resistance ended as they ran out of gas in with 10 minutes to go and the Springboks pulled ahead to ease to a comfortable win.
