Corne Beets scored a second half brace to help the Junior Springboks come from behind to beat Argentina and secure a place in the World U20 Championship playoffs on Tuesday night.

South Africa went into the match on the back of a humbling loss to Italy, but needed only a win to progress to the semi-finals after Georgia claimed a bonus-point victory over the Italians earlier in the day.

A shoddy start to the match saw the hosts struggle to secure any sort of set-piece possession against the physical Argentinians, who took a 9-0 lead thanks to the boot of flyhalf Valentino di Capua.
