South Africa Wins Rugby Championship with Dominant Victory

South Africa clinched the 2024 Rugby Championship title with a dominant 48-7 victory over Argentina at Mbombela Stadium. Aphelele Fassi and Pieter-Steph du Toit scored two tries each, with additional tries from Cheslin Kolbe, Malcolm Marx, and Jesse Kriel. Argentina's only points came from a try by Tomas Albornoz, but their discipline faltered with yellow cards for Mateo and Santiago Carreras, and a 20-minute red card for Pablo Matera. The win was historic as Eben Etzebeth became the most-capped Springbok, surpassing Victor Matfield with his 128th appearance. South Africa finished the championship with 24 points, ahead of New Zealand (16), Argentina (14), and Australia (5). The Springboks' inventive backline play and dominant scrum were pivotal in their comprehensive victory.
