Match Commentary

81'		32-19 End of second half
80'		Argentina were outstanding tonight. They played with passion, power and a lot of panache as well. They dominated the Boks physically and scored some awesome tries out wide The Springboks on the other hand were poor. They were second best in all aspects of the game. The have a week off, which they have to use to try and get ready for what is going to be a difficult tour of Australia and New Zealand.
80'		Substitute on - Juan Cruz Mallia , Argentina
