Feinberg-Mngomezulu leads Springboks to 67-30 win over Argentina

DURBAN, South Africa :Flyhalf Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored 37 points in a stunning individual display as defending champions South Africa moved to the top of the Rugby Championship table with a 67-30 bonus-point victory over Argentina at King’s Park on Saturday.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu scored a hat-trick of tries as he beat Percy Montgomery's Springboks record for most points in a single test to go with scores for hooker Malcolm Marx, wing Cheslin Kolbe, scrumhalf Morne van den Berg, flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit (two) and replacement back Manie Libbok.

Argentina were tenacious in the opening period but trailed 25-23 at halftime as they scored tries through centre Santiago Chocobares, replacement back Tomas Albornoz and a penalty-try.

With one round remaining, South Africa have 15 points at the top of the Rugby Championship table, followed by New Zealand (14 points), Australia (11) and Argentina (9), who are now out of the running and host the Springboks in London next Saturday.

"This was a vibe, I am very happy," Feinberg-Mngomezulu, 23, said. "We just wanted to play good rugby, put the work we have done in training into the game.

"Playing transition scenarios and getting the right balance between kicking and running - I think we did that."

It puts South Africa in pole position to retain their title but captain Siya Kolisi warned they faced a final hurdle at Twickenham next weekend.

"We expected the tough start, we knew what Argentina was going to bring. They took their opportunities in the first half,” Kolisi said.

"The message after halftime was to cut out the stupid errors and penalties we were giving away and to play as composed as we can.

"Next week we will go as hard as we can to win it. The job is not done yet."
