South Africa’s Springboks have retained their Rugby Championship title after a hard-fought 29-27 victory over Argentina. The win, which saw them finish level on points with New Zealand but ahead on points difference, marks the first time the team has won consecutive Rugby Championship titles. After a sluggish start that saw them trailing at halftime, the Springbok pack ignited in the second half. Powerful forward drives created the platform for two tries each from Malcolm Marx and Cobus Reinach, propelling South Africa into a commanding lead. Although a resilient Argentina scored two late tries to create a tense finish, the Springboks held on to secure the historic victory.
