South Africa scraped past Argentina 17-10 in Test rugby in Buenos Aires on Saturday. While the Springboks celebrated a 12th straight Test win, the victory came at a significant cost as captain Siya Kolisi suffered a hamstring injury in the 25th minute.

Kolisi, returning from a previous injury, expressed frustration after the setback, noting he must undergo a scan to determine his availability. His injury casts doubt on his ability to lead the team in the upcoming blockbuster series against New Zealand.

Despite a depleted squad, stalwarts like Eben Etzebeth and Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu played every minute. The Pumas nearly snatched a draw in the final moments, but a dropped pass by Matías Moroni during a late attacking phase secured the win for the visitors.
