The Springboks came through their Rugby Championship match against Argentina unscathed on Saturday, proving to be too powerful for their visitors.<\/p>\n
Here are our winners and losers from the game.<\/p>\n
Winners<\/p>\n
Jasper Wiese <\/p>\n
The barnstorming number eight was tremendous with ball in hand, gaining yards with each thunderous carry to put the Springboks on the front foot. With plenty of competition for South Africa\u2019s number eight shirt, Wiese once again rewarded Rassie Erasmus\u2019 faith in him.<\/p>\n
Joaquin Oviedo<\/p>\n
Like his teammates, his impact dampened as the second half hit, but beating 10 men in 13 carries gives a great indication of just how important he was to his side. Only Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu<\/a> and Wiese had more carries in a game that became more open as it went on. The 24-year-old stretched his rangy legs with every opportunity, as he proved to be Los Pumas\u2019 key attacking weapon.<\/p>\n Marcos Kremer<\/p>\n The flanker made almost double the number of tackles as anyone else on his side, as he put in the hard work to keep his side within the game. Sadly for Kremer, his teammates were worn down by the power of the South African<\/a> attack, so he was able to do little to affect the end result.<\/p>\n Pieter-Steph du Toit<\/p>\n The two-time World Rugby Player of the Year<\/a> never seems to have an off day, and today just solidified that. The Argentinians simply had no defence against the giant flanker when he had the ball in hand. He demolished the tackle-shy Argentine defence with his powerful leg drives, often leaving defenders hanging off him as he looked for that next decisive offload. He got on the scoresheet twice, clinching his second in the final seconds of the match.<\/p>\n Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu<\/p>\n As perfect a performance as you\u2019re ever likely to see from a fly-half. Three tries and 37 total points saw the 23-year-old break the great Percy Montgomery\u2019s Springbok record for the most points in a single Test match. He controlled the game expertly, nailed all his kicks and was a constant threat on the ball. Scored 20 of the Springboks\u2019 25 points at the break, including two tries, he then completed his hat-trick in the second half, before assisting Cheslin Kolbe with a beautifully crafted cross-field kick.<\/p>\n
