Sacha sizzles, brutal blunders, set-piece superiority
Cape Argus
|September 29, 2025
THE drama at Kings Park was unrelenting as the Springboks fluctuated between the sublime and the ridiculous in thrashing Argentina 67-30.
Here are five takeaways from a memorable Rugby Championship match.
Sizzling Sacha
A hat-trick of tries and 10 successful shots at goal saw the flyhalf amass a record-breaking 37 points. He beat 13 defenders while accumulating 134 metres from his 14 carries, fashioning three clean breaks in the process. That total of 13 defenders beaten is all the more impressive when you consider that the next best Springboks in this department - Jasper Wiese and Pieter-Steph du Toit - beat five defenders each.
Boks score own goals
