The visitors applied pressure. The Pumas close the gap thanks to Juan Martín González who got his second try seven minutes after the restart. Boffelli converts (17-14). Jacques Nienaber (Springbok coach) makes some changes to make it worse. He brings in Kwagga Smith and Duane Vermeulen.
South Africa was penalized by Argentina (24-17), which is very defensive. South Africa won the match at 13. After Etzebeth had been sent off, scrum half Faf de Klerk received a yellow for a cynical offense. Matias Moroni scored from the side, and Boffelli converted to bring Pumas within three minutes.
The Springboks finally won (38-21). However, it was not enough to win the title that belongs New Zealand. Africa ends the campaign with four victories (and two losses).
