Springbok captain Salmaan Moerat is disappointed that his team failed to capitalise on a strong 17-0 lead after 15 minutes to fade away to a 29-28 loss to Argentina in the Rugby Championship on Saturday night.

Mateo Carreras, Pablo Matera and Joel Sclavi all forced their way over the line before a excellent dummy from Tomas Albornoz sent Argentina ahead. With Arendse restored just a few minutes before the break, Cobus Reinach sprinted in for a try and made it a four-point game heading into the second half.

Argentina has kept its hopes of winning the Rugby Championship alive by edging world champion South Africa 29-28 to temporarily deny the Springboks their first title since 2019.

Following Argentina's epic 29-28 win over the Springboks in Santiago, here are our five takeaways from the memorable clash.

A group still led by Pablo Matera will have to match South Africa today. The visitors are without four of their regular starting five at the back of the scrum - if Argentina can get on top of that remodelled group at the breakdown and dominate the lineout, a shock could very well be on the cards.
