Johannesburg: South Africa survived a second-half Argentina onslaught to win 22-21 in Johannesburg on Saturday and finish Rugby Championship runners-up behind New Zealand.
Argentina, who trailed 15-9 at half-time, camped in the Springboks' half for much of the second half, but three missed kicks at goal by fly-half Santiago Carreras proved costly.
