SOUTH AFRICA CELEBRATE RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY OVER ARGENTINA

-

South Africa won the Castle Lager Rugby Championship for the first time in five years. The Springboks beat Argentina at Nelspruit in commanding fashion on Saturday with a 48-7 victory. They were leading 27-7 at the break of a pulsating match.

The win was never in doubt for the Springboks. Eben Etzebeth celebrates a new Test record with 128th caps. South Africa had a sublime start in front of a 43578 sold-out crowd in Mbombela Stadium. They broke The Pumas defence in the opening minutes. Two early tries boosted their confidence in the match.

Argentina responded with a try by Tomas Albornoz to keep their hope alive. However, South Africa were at their best and wrapped up the match with six more tries. Aphelele Fassi, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Cheslin Kolbe, Malcolm Marx, and Jesse Kriel took turns to break into the Pumas try area.

Credit to Argentina though. They came into the last match of the Rugby Championship against the Springboks in South Africa with a sniff to win it. The Pumas have been really impressive; they have already defeated South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia this year.

Antoine Dupont  was simply inspirational as France claimed their first Olympics gold medal in rugby at the Stade de France. The Olympic gold medal is the latest addition to his Six Nations title with France 15s, two European Rugby Champions Cups, and four Top 14 victories with club Toulouse. The 27-year-old is now widely regarded as one of the country’s best ever athletes. South Africa  bagged the men's rugby sevens bronze after some late scare.
