The Blitzboks beat Argentina 26-24 in an eight-try festival. Unfortunately for the Blitzboks, their points difference will keep them from advancing to the cup finals following their big loss to Great Britain earlier this morning.
Argentina opened the scoring with a long-distance try, whereafter Zain Davids scored down the touchline a minute later. The Blitzboks started to spread the ball wide with speed, creating space out wide for Siviwe Soyizwapi to score the Blitzboks' second try. Argentina replied immediately with an unconverted try. The Blitzboks are going into the halftime break leading 14-12.
Argentina opened the scoring into the second half, whereafter, Dewald Human cut the defence of Argentina in two to score a long-distance try. A minute later, once again, horrible defence cost the Blitzboks again, allowing Argentina to retake the lead with a converted try.
The Blitzboks attacked from the kick-off, and Zander Reynders scored in the corner, controlling a kick pass to win 26-24.
