South Africa Crushes Argentina to Top Rugby Championship

5

South Africa roared to the top of the Rugby Championship with a commanding 67-30 victory over Argentina in Durban, highlighted by Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu’s record-breaking 37-point haul. The 23-year-old fly-half scored three tries, converted eight others, and kicked two penalties, surpassing Percy Montgomery’s 2007 record. Despite a tight first half where Argentina kept pace, the Springboks pulled away after halftime, with tries from Pieter-Steph du Toit, Morne van den Berg, and Manie Libbok. The match occurred in front of a 45,000-strong crowd and leaves South Africa a point clear atop the table. A bonus-point win in their final game could secure their third Rugby Championship.
