Daniel Hourcade hails Argentina ‘heart’ after win over Springboks

A determined Argentina overcame injuries to several key players before leaving it late to claw their way to a second ever victory over South Africa in their Rugby Championship clash in Salta on Saturday.

Replacement out-half Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias kicked the winning penalty with two minutes remaining as the Pumas eked out a 26-24 triumph after the Springboks had looked poised to rally past Argentina for the second time in eight days.

The win was just reward for an Argentina side angry with themselves for letting victory slip from their grasp in Nelspruit in their tournament opener and vowing they would beat the Springboks at home for a first time.
