Pumas lead by three at the break in London

The Pumas had most of the early play and scored the first points with a try in the opening minutes for a 7-0 lead.

The Boks kicked a penalty goal before the Pumas extended their lead to 10-3 and then 13-3 after the South Africans were penalised within striking distance.

The Springboks, dogged by some haphazard play, clawed their way back into the game via their scrum, with a try by Cobus Reinach giving them some momentum going into the second half.

Argentina (13) – Try: Bautista Delguy. Conversion: Santiago Carreras. Penalty goals: Carreras (2).
