Rugby Championship: South Africa thrash Argentina 67-30 to top table with Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu breaking points record | Rugby Union News



South Africa thrashed Argentina 67-30 in the Rugby Championship on Saturday to move top of the table with one round to play.

Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu broke the record for the most points scored by a South African in a Test with 37, scoring three tries, nailing eight conversions and adding two penalties in a stunning display.

He beat Percy Montgomery’s Springboks record for most points in a single Test to go with other tries for hooker Malcolm Marx, wing Cheslin Kolbe, scrum-half Morne van den Berg, flanker Pieter-Steph du Toit (two) and replacement back Manie Libbok.

Argentina were tenacious in the opening period but trailed 25-23 at half-time as they scored tries through centre Santiago Chocobares, replacement back Tomas Albornoz and a penalty-try.
