Rugby: Boks survive serious Argentinian onslaught

# Rugby: The Springboks faced a very determined Argentinian side but managed to beat the Pumas in a hard-fought battle by 17 -10 in Buenos Aires yesterday. Locked at 10-10 at halftime after an early Benjamín Grondona try for the Pumas, South Africa hit back just before the break through winger Edwill van der Merwe. Replacement flyhalf Handré Pollard set up No. 8 Cameron Hanekom, who crashed over for the match-winning try. However, the win came at a high cost. Captain Siya Kolisi limped off in the 25th minute with a hamstring injury.
