South Africa beat Argentina to finish third at Rugby World Cup

South Africa finished third at the World Cup as they eased past Argentina.

A JP Pietersen try and Handre Pollard's boot gave South Africa a 16- nil half-time lead before Nicolas Sanchez finally got the Pumas on the scoreboard.

The only disappointment for the Boks was that Bryan Habana was unable to claim the all-time World Cup try scoring record on his own.

The 32-year-old winger came within inches of scoring in the first half, only to be denied by the fingertips of Argentina full-back Lucas Gonzalez as they both chased a kick.
