Whatever your views are on their playing style, the one thing that is unanimous about this Springboks side is that the scoreboard fully agrees with them after they beat Argentina 32-12 at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday.
The Boks did not look like they started the match with a fresh backline front row made up of Ox Nché, Wilco Louw and debutant Joseph Dweba who replaced Steven Kitshoff, Frans Malherbe and Bongi Mbonambi.
In the backline Damian Willemse got a rare start in the place of Willie le Roux at fullback, while Nkosi and Fassi started at wing in place of Cheslin Kolbe and Makazole Mapimpi. Jantjies gave Springboks the lead in the opening minutes with a penalty from about 30m and the Boks increased the lead a few minutes later through the first try of the match by Reinach.
