Following their 38-21 victory over Argentina at a sold-out King’s Park in Durban on Saturday, South Africa won the fight but lost the war, handing the 2022 Rugby Championship championship to New Zealand. Instead, Argentina came very near to defeating them in Durban, but were once again let down by their lack of discipline, which resulted in four yellow cards and two penalty try conceded. The All Blacks lead the rankings with 19 points from their six games, one more than South Africa, who were unable to secure the try-scoring bonus point they required to accompany their 39-point victory margin on scoreboard to win the trophy.
South Africa’s mission was challenging in Durban as a result of New Zealand’s 40-14 victory over Australia earlier in the day, especially considering that they had only scored more than 40 points in a game once since winning the Rugby World Cup in 2019 — against Georgia in July of last year. Will Jordan, Sam Whitelock, Codie Taylor, and Samisoni Taukei’aho all crossed the goal line for the All Blacks, who ultimately outscored the Wallabies by five tries to two. Richie Mo’unga finished with a total of 13 points from three penalties and two conversions.
