68'Coetzee is the man left holding the ball as the Boks put together a driving lineout
68'Substitute on - Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro , Argentina
68'Player substituted - Ramiro Herrera , Argentina

52'Player substituted - Juan Smith , South Africa
52'Substitute on - Marcell Coetzee , South Africa
51'25-16 Try - Joaquin Tuculet , Argentina

47'20-16 Conversion - Nicolas Sanchez , Argentina
47'18-16 Try - Tomas Cubelli , Argentina
46'Argentina have their second try with Cubelli going over. Walsh checks it with the TMO but Le Roux's efforts to hold up the replacement scrum-half are in vain. Sanchez adds the extras

41'+113-16 End of first half
40'13-16 Start of second half
39'Sanchez misses his second kick at the posts. They could prove costly
36'Substitute on - Leonardo Senatore , Argentina
36'Player substituted - Pablo Matera , Argentina
35'Another chance goes begging for the Pumas. They spread the ball wide and Tuculet has a relatively easy run in, or at least a chance to draw the defender and pass, but he knocks it on
34'Player substituted - Martin Landajo , Argentina
34'Substitute on - Tomas Cubelli , Argentina
33'13-16 Conversion - Handre Pollard , South Africa

31'Lethal from the Springboks. Handling errors from the Pumas punished by Pienaar who hacks on in his own half and eventually Habana grounds it
30'13-9 Penalty goal - Handre Pollard , South Africa
29'Pollard punishes Tomas Lavanini's ill-discipline at the ruck and the Boks are back to within four points
27'13-6 Conversion - Nicolas Sanchez , Argentina
26'Superb conversion from Sanchez as he slots the extras from the touchline
26'11-6 Try - Manuel Montero , Argentina
25'Pumas draw first blood with patient play on the Boks' line eventually seeing the ball go wide where Montero crashes over in the corner
23'6-6 Penalty goal - Handre Pollard , South Africa
22'All square in Salta with Pollard keeping his 100% record going
17'More front-row dominance from the Pumas as they draw a scrum penalty in their own 22
13'Pretty farcical scenes as Steve Walsh is prevented from checking a possible tip-tackle due to communication issues. He can't get hold of the TMO on his microphone, neither can the fourth official on the telephone so play goes on.
13'6-3 Drop goal - Juan Martin Hernandez , Argentina
12'If the Pumas are to win, they have to get points from their visits to the Boks' 22. Hernandez slots a drop-goal and Argentina have their lead
11'3-3 Penalty goal - Handre Pollard , South Africa
10'Pollard shows nerves of steal in a tough environment to level the game up
4'3-0 Penalty goal - Nicolas Sanchez , Argentina
3'Really good start from Argentina as their width causes the Springboks all sorts of problems. Sanchez punishes ill-discipline to get the first points on the board.
