Boks seal 'unreal' back-to-back Rugby C'ships
The Straits Times
|October 05, 2025
South Africa's pack turned on the power in the second half to beat Argentina 29-27 at Twickenham on Oct 4 and win the Rugby Championship for the sixth time, ahead of New Zealand on points difference.
-
The All Blacks' 28-14 bonus-point win over Australia in Perth earlier meant that Springboks needed a bonus-point victory to win the title with clear water, though their overwhelming points advantage meant that any win would be enough.
After an error-strewn start, however, they trailed 13-3 and then 13-10 at halftime before two tries by Malcolm Marx and a second for Cobus Reinach enabled them to surge 29-13 ahead.
Late scores for the Pumas made the scoreboard close, but it was South Africa's day as they won back-to-back titles for the first time. They and New Zealand finished on 19 points, but South Africa's points difference was plus-57 to the All Blacks' plus-eight. Australia ended on 11 points and Argentina 10.
