Bonus point 36-20 win in Buenos Aires puts Springboks joint top with All Blacks. Malcolm Marx scored a brace as the Springboks recorded a decisive 36-20 win over Argentina in Buenos Aires on Saturday and in the process secured a crucial bonus point win at Estadio Libertadores De América in their first of two Tests against Argentina in the Castle Lager Rugby Championship.
The South Africans dominated the first half and held a comfortable 22-6 lead at the break, but the second half forced them to dig deep to secure a well-deserved consecutive win away from home.
It was a match of two halves, no doubt, but for the Springboks, the most important part was the result at the end of each of those halves.
Despite yellow cards to Willie le Roux and Kwagga Smith in the second half and a rash of penalties, the Springboks absorbed the heavy punches dished out by the hosts and when it really mattered, responded with the knock-out blow late in the half when Marx scored his second and South Africa's fifth try.
