South Africa vs Australia LIVE: Rugby Championship result and reaction as Springboks thrash Wallabies

Argentina look a little unsure of what has hit them, the hosts so close to a score in the opening seconds but now rapidly slipping out of the contest. A knock-on in the air at the restart brings about a New Zealand scrum penalty, Ethan de Groot driving through Lucio Sordoni.

That’s just about New Zealand’s first error in possession, Caleb Clarke adding an extra pair of midfield hands off his blindside wing but Emoni Narawa too tight on the right. A pass flies into touch on the hop.

Josh Lord gets hands on the ball the Argentina lineout falters again, the lock’s fumble at least allowing the home side to set a scrum. Stable as the front rows hold parity, and Gonzalo Bertranou sweeps away.

A half-charged kick causes Caleb Clarke a couple of problems, but an attempted toe ahead from an Argentine boot flies out on the full.

Sam Cane and Shannon Frizell make a crunching double hit on Tomas Lavanini - the only issue being that the lock is not carrying the ball. Penalty for Argentina, which is poked up into the New Zealand 22. They rather need a score here.

Julian Montoya is a pretty skilful chariot rider, and likes what he sees initially. New Zealand infringe to ensure he does not progress all the way to the line.

Back into the corner.

New Zealand survive! Variation from Argentina, throwing to the tail and bringing Pablo Matera rampaging around, but Damian McKenzie retrieves his axe and chops him down. There’s still an excellent scoring opportunity as Argentina’s forwards win the race around the corner, but Rodrigo Bruni can’t cling on to a pass at his thighs with few fortifications in front of him.

Argentina are beginning to find their groove. Lovely interplay between backs and forwards as thehy work to the edge, a huge fend from Matias Moroni getting rid of Ardie Savea before Rodrigo Bruni ploughs a more direct path.

A try-saver from Damian McKenzie again! Superb scramble defence from the fly-half to save his Chiefs teammate, Emoni Narawa seemingly beaten by Moroni as the centre heads for the corner but McKenzie arriving just in the nick of time!

Here come New Zealand. Ardie Savea beats three to escape from his own territory and a penalty is then pounded down into the Argentina 22.

Every time the All Blacks attack it feels like Argentina are merely hanging on. New Zealand are winning the gainline virtually every carry, with Thomas Gallo’s tackle off the ball on Ethan de Groot gifting the visitors another penalty.

Now then - this could be interesting. A crosskick from Damian McKenzie lands in Jordie Barrett’s hands, and Caleb Clarke then tries to flick an offload infield to Beauden Barrett, who looks sset to canter in.

An Argentina hand gets in the way - that looked deliberate on first view...
