South Africa will feel they are in the pound seat after being the only victorious team in round one. After last season’s second place finish in the U20 Rugby Championship, they will be keen to get a win on home soil.
Last weekend, the Baby Springboks started well before allowing Argentina to score some soft tries. Despite trailing at halftime, they demonstrated resilience and determination to secure a 36-25 victory after 80 minutes.
Defensive lapses cost them dearly in those first 40 minutes, but an efficient, physical performance in the second half saw the hosts win with some room to spare.
