Morne Steyn spoiled Argentina’s southern hemisphere debut and answered his own critics to lead South Africa to a 27-6 win over the Pumas in the Rugby Championship early this morning.
Steyn marked the match in which he became the Springboks’ most capped flyhalf with a dominant display from No. 10 to back up tries by fullback Zane Kirchner, flanker Marcell Coetzee and winger Bryan Habana.
On his 38th test Steyn was perfect in front of goal and created two of the Bok’s three tries at Newlands to steal the show on Argentina’s long-awaited introduction to the tournament.
Meanwhile, New Zealand opened their Rugby Championship with a 27-19 win over Australia at ANZ Stadium in Sydney last night.
