On This Day in 2015

On this day in 2015 Argentina made history. Los Pumas would claim their official first test match victory over South Africa, doing so on the road in Durban. The 37-25 victory was comprehensive and would put the South Americans on the right track for RWC 2015.

Argentina would win the match by outscoring the hosts both in terms of points and tries scored. Running in three tries was Juan Imhoff who, in doing so, became the first man in test rugby history to score a hat-trick against South Africa.
