Argentina beat South Africa in coach Mario Ledesma’s first home test in charge as the Pumas produced a rampaging first‑half performance in the Rugby Championship.

Argentina beat South Africa 32-19 in their match this morning scoring three of its four tries in eight minutes in the opening half.

Fly-half Nicolas Sanchez collected 17 points to give Argentina its third win over South Africa, all coming in the last three years.

It was Argentina’s biggest victory over the Springboks, surpassing the 37‑25 win in South Africa in 2015.

It was also a first triumph this year for the Pumas, who lost three straight home games in June.

Argentina led 27‑7 at halftime.
