Manie Libbok missed a penalty in the final minutes of the clash, which would've given SA the win.

FILE PHOTO: Rugby Union - Rugby Championship - South Africa v Australia - Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria, South Africa - July 8, 2023 South Africa's Manie Libbokrefuses to blame replacement Manie Libbok for South Africa’s 29-28 defeat at the hands of Argentina in the Rugby Championship competition in Santiago del Estero late on Saturday.

Libbok missed a penalty in the final minutes of the clash, which would’ve given the World Champions the win and the crown.Erasmus says the team made crucial mistakes at crucial times.“I was so hoping he would kick that kick over. He kicked well the whole week and kicked so well in the warm-up. He slotted everything. But it’s pressure. Again, I don’t think the game should’ve gone down to the wire of one man kicking it over. There were lots of opportunities where we lost the ball in lineouts.
