<\/a>TRY! ARGENTINA 27-29 South Africa (Rodrigo Isgro, 82 minutes)<\/p>\n

A flying Rodrigo Isgro has the last word!<\/p>\n

The Harlequins wing, in his home parish across the road from his usual chapel, showcases his supreme aerial skill, collecting Santiago Carreras\u2019s well-weighted crossfield kick. Carreras converts, making his missed three from the tee a couple of moments ago costly.<\/p>\n

To the maul Argentina go, making five of the ten metres they need but no further. How about the cross kick, though? <\/p>\n

Argentina win a last-minute penalty, but whatever they muster will not be enough – South Africa have retained their title.<\/p>\n

Can the Pumas finish with a flourish, though?<\/p>\n

Do they consider a drop goal at this juncture? Not if the referee\u2019s whistle intervenes. Tomas Rapetti is deemed offside as he picks and drives from within a ruck and that will surely seal it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Missed penalty! Argentina 20-29 South Africa, 78 minutes<\/p>\n

Off the upright! Argentina regather possession but three points go begging! <\/p>\n

Right – penalty Argentina for a late tackle. It\u2019s centrefield, 40 metres out – take the three? <\/p>\n

Yep. Santiago Carreras will try to drag Argentina within a score.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Argentina 20-29 South Africa, 76 minutes<\/p>\n

Perhaps not! Where has that come from? Boris Wenger draws a scrum penalty out of Wilco Louw. Hope?<\/p>\n

<\/a>Argentina 20-29 South Africa, 75 minutes<\/p>\n

A couple of scrum resets tick more time off the clock, which suits South Africa fine. This may be beyond Argentina at this point.<\/p>\n

Ethan Hooker shows off some athleticism in open space yet can\u2019t lift his chip over the last defender. Argentina soon knock on.<\/p>\n
