South Africa dominated Argentina in the 2024 Rugby Championship, securing a comprehensive 48-7 victory at the Mbombela Stadium.
Aphelele Fassi and Pieter-Steph du Toit each scored two tries for the Springboks, while Cheslin Kolbe, Malcolm Marx, and Jesse Kriel also crossed the try line. Argentina's only try came from Tomas Albornoz.
The Springboks' victory was aided by Argentina's indiscipline, with yellow cards for Mateo Carreras and Santiago Carreras, and a red card for Pablo Matera. Eben Etzebeth became the most capped Springbok with his 128th appearance, surpassing Victor Matfield's record.
South Africa's win secured their first southern hemisphere title since 2019 and their fifth overall. Argentina captain Julian Montoya acknowledged South Africa's dominance, stating, "Credit to South Africa, they were the better team today. We weren’t good enough, we had to be better.
