While the Boks only truly sparked to life in the second half, they had already laid the foundation in the opening 40 minutes by grinding down Los Pumas with relentless physicality.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu, alongside fullback Damian Willemse, orchestrated play with precision and flair, while replacement playmaker Manie Libbok provided the finishing touches to a dominant display.

Here’s how the players rated:

15 Damian Willemse: (9): Secure under the high ball and sparked one of the tries from a sublime take. He was solid as the Boks' final line of defence and put in another strong display that shows he is back to his sparkling best.

14 Cheslin Kolbe (7): Saw little of the ball in that first half. That drop kick, which led to a try for Argentina, was a costly mistake by the winger. However, he made amends with a brilliant try and play under the high ball.

13 Canan Moodie (7): Put in one of his trademark attack-stopping tackles in the midfield that forced a knock on and was solid on defence. Popped up under the high balls and looked for work all over the park when the Boks attacked.
