THE Springbok rugby team are one of South Africa's longest-running good news stories and, given their astonishing display in Durban on Saturday night, there is more good cheer to come.

Rassie Erasmus's double world champions beat a powerful Argentina team 67-30 in front of a capacity 50 000 crowd at Kings Park to put one hand on the Rugby Championship trophy.

The Springboks have never won this tournament two years in a row, but a new piece of history for this team will become reality if they beat the same opponents this Saturday in London in the final round of the Championship.

It is a "home" fixture for Argentina, but the South Americans chose to stage the game at Twickenham to cash in on lucrative gate takings.
