According to an article in One News, South Africa beat Argentina late to win the rugby championship. It wasn’t until the final 10 minutes thhat South Africa overcame their uncharacteristic play to secure the win. Argentina led for most of the game, but became sloppy and undisciplined in the final 10 minute frame allowing for South Africa to edge back into the game for the win. If Argentina played how they did in the previous game and remained consistent, they would be walking away with a win, but instead they let careless play influence the outcome of the match. The Argentina coach must not be happy after coming so close just to see it all slip away with such little time left in the game. I am happy South Africa got the win of course, but it didn’t seem like it would be a reality with how the came was progressing. If there weren’t the two late penalties this game would most likely be a lot different and South Africa may have been the team hanging their heads in turn.
Sports are great because you never know. Sometimes games seem like they are over, but a turn of events can lead to a team finding new life. That is the beauty of sports and that’s what keeps people glued to all the different sports on the planet. Sports teams are like warriors who are playing on behalf of their community or country. As fans we love to root for them day in and day out hoping they reach the greatest pinnacle, a championship. South Africa claimed their championship and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the team. They didn’t give up and they kept fighting away in a relentless matter.
