Springbok lock Eben Etzebeth goes on a rampaging run during the Rugby Championship match against Argentina at Ellis Park on Saturday night. Picture: Lee Warren/Gallo Imagesended the Rugby Championship on a high with a win over Argentina at Ellis Park on Saturday night, but they were made to work incredibly hard for the positive result as the game finished 22-21 in the hosts favour.
It was a far from vintage performance and probably not what the home crowd was hoping to see in the team’s final game in SA before the World Cup, but got the job done in the end as the visitors ran in two tries in the final five minutes to finish just short.The early stage of the match was highlighted by two charge downs, of which the Boks came off second best with both. The first was straight off the kick-off which saw scrumhalf Grant Williams trying to clear the ball, only for it to be charged down by an Argentinean player, who also knocked out Williams in the process, which sadly saw the player stretchered off on his first start.
