Argentina stun Blitzboks at Tokyo Olympics
The Blitzboks crashed out of the Olympic Games on Tuesday after losing to Argentina at the quarterfinal stage.
The South Africans, who won bronze at the previous Olympic Games, went down 19-14 to a depleted Pumas side in Tokyo.
Selvyn Davids got the Blitzboks on the board with a converted try in the second minute after a great run by Kurt-Lee Arendse, as they started well to take a 7-0 lead.
A red card to Argentina's Gaston Revol following a tackle on Davids was seen as an opportunity to salvage the game.
However, Marcos Moneta of the opposition made two tries that took the team ahead with 14-7.
The Pumas cruised to victory after its captain Santiago Alvarez scored a third try in the second half to see South Africa’s chances of a medal disappear.
