HIGHLIGHTS: South Africa beat Argentina in World Cup bronze match

beat 24-13 at the Olympic Stadium last night to finish third of the .
The never looked like losing the game against an injury-hit Pumas side and tries from JP Pietersen and Eben Etzebeth at the start of each half proved the difference.
Handre Pollard kicked 14 points from the tee to end his World Cup with 93 points but that wasn’t enough to catch his opposite number Nicolas Sanchez who added eight points to his tally to end the tournament on 97 points.
Juan Pablo Orlandi managed to cross on the last play of the game for Argentina but the match will be remembered as the one where Brian Habana failed to beat Jonah Lomu’s all-time try-scoring record.
The Springbok, who was tied on 15 with the legendary All-Black at the start of the game, had one last shot at breaking the long-standing record but he missed two big opportunities to do so and was surprisingly replaced by Heyneke Meyer with 15 minutes to go.
