Argentina achieved a stunning 29-28 victory over South Africa in the Rugby Championship, momentarily halting the Springboks' quest for their first title since 2019. After trailing 17-0 early in the match, Argentina rallied with four tries, including key contributions from Mateo Carreras and Tomas Albornoz, who kicked the decisive penalty late in the game. South Africa, despite their strong start with tries from Aphelele Fassi and Jesse Kriel, suffered their first defeat in this year's tournament. The outcome sets up a critical final match next week in Nelspruit, where South Africa, leading the table with 19 points, will need only a single point to secure the championship. Argentina, now with 14 points, must win to claim the title. Stand-in South African captain Salmaan Moerat acknowledged the need for improvement ahead of the rematch, emphasizing the importance of maintaining pressure throughout the game.
