DURBAN, South Africa : South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber believed their pre-match target of a bonus-point win by 39 points was achievable but the Springboks lost crucial momentum at the end of the first half in their 38-21 Rugby Championship win over Argentina on Saturday.

Nienaber was left to rue a scrappy try for Argentina at the end of the opening period in which his side defended poorly and, he said, it changed the momentum of the contest. "That changed the momentum of the game and it made it much harder for us after that. Before then we felt the plan was working." "We needed to get a 39-point winning margin to win the trophy, and we all bought into it. The guys gave full effort out there, I don’t think anyone could fault the effort.
