Fly-half Pollard notched two tries and kicked three conversions and five penalties in a bonus-point victory for South Africa, who led 24-13 at half-time.South Africa finished with 12 points in a competition reduced to one round from the traditional two because of the World Cup in Japan from September 20.
The nations meet again next Saturday, this time in Pretoria, in a warm-up international for the World Cup. "We are very happy where we are at the moment and winning the Rugby Championship is a fantastic achievement." Pollard reduced the deficit off a ninth-minute penalty and the visitors went in front soon after when Bongi Mbonambi scored off a rolling maul after a lineout.
Sanchez had fewer opportunities and made the most of them, slotting the two penalties to keep the Pumas in touch for most of the half.But the Pollard try and conversion gave South Africa a 24-13 half-time advantage after a half in which the major difference between the teams was the scrums.
I just hope the keep the same level of confidence at the world cup🔥🔥
Faf de Klerk was hopeless
Pollard played brilliantly .. he just needs to learn how to kick for touch? Maybe Henry Honiball or can help him? 10m is just not good enough !!!?
Can we do better than this ou yeah we can, bring Webb ellis trophy now, our boys are geared up now , tails up like ystervark
They will take the world cup too. Let's go Bokke!!❤
Well done the Bokke!
First time in a decade.
