Foote credits fighting spirit

Junior Springboks coach Kevin Foote and captain Riley Norton credited their hard work and defence after the South Africans beat Argentina on Monday night to book their place in Saturday's World Rugby U-20 Championship final against New Zealand.

Despite conceding 16 penalties to Argentina's six, the South African side held on for a convincing 48-24 win in Viadana, Italy, after leading 28-10 at the break.

Foote credited the team's fighting spirit during a period in the second half when Argentina threatened with strong rolling mauls.

"Every player gave his all, leading exceptionally well in his respective position," said Foote.
