Match Commentary

81'		That's the final whistle. Job done here for the Springboks as they cruise to a relatively painless 37-15, picking up a bonus point in the process. It was scrappy at times, and there are sure to be areas of concern, but a solid display from the hosts overall, particularly in the scrum.
81'		37-15 End of second half
78'		Big cheers around the stadium as young Curwin Bosch comes on for his senior debut, replacing Jantjies. It's a nervous opening few minutes for the youngster though. First his kick is charged down only for Argentina to knock-on, then he fails to find touch from a penalty kick.
