South Africa managed to grind out victory in a 'proper test match', edging Argentina 22-21 in their final Rugby Championship fixture at Ellis Park on Saturday, as coach Jacques Nienaber hailed their defence and composure under pressure.

"We expected a proper test match, if you look at what Argentina have done in the last few seasons with wins in New Zealand and Australia. We knew it was going to be a grind," Nienaber told reporters.The Boks kept Argentina at bay for 75 minutes until the visitors, who dominated possession, scored two late tries.
It is unusual for a visiting team to come to Ellis Park and have almost 60% possession, as well as dominate territory, and Nienaber praised Argentina for a game plan well executed.
