Cape Town - The Junior Springboks were made to fight hard to overcome a courageous Argentina Under-20 rugby team 25-22 in the first of two matches between the sides late on Tuesday in Santa Fe, Argentina.
Los Pumitas led 15-10 at half-time after they dominated possession and territory while playing with a strong wind in their favour in the first half. They scored two tries and a penalty to take a deserved lead, while the Baby Boks answered with a converted try and a penalty to stay within distance despite their many unforced errors.
The young South Africans used their dominance in the scrums and set pieces to much better effect in the second half, adding a penalty and an excellent try to edge out the hosts in front of a passionate crowd.
