Scotland ended a run of seven successive defeats against Argentina by winning Saturday’s second Test 26-14.
British rugby club Northampton Saints boss Jim Mallinder has refused to be drawn on speculation that he is on the verge of luring South Africa’s World Cup-winning lock forward Victor Matfield to Franklin’s Gardens. Matfield was man of the match in last year’s World Cup final that saw South Africa beat England.
How much do Argentina have left in the tank? The answer should be clear in the second half of a ferocious forwards clash between the Pumas and South Africa on Sunday. Cracks appeared among the Pumas last Sunday when they let slip a 19-6 lead around the hour mark to give Scotland a sniff at victory. The Springboks are too dangerous for anybody to afford easing off at any time.
