That's a solid enough performance to begin the Rugby Championship with.

A brace apiece for Dyantyi and Mapimpi, with further tries from Am and De Klerk, did the business for the Boks.

Bigger challenges lie ahead, starting in Buenos Aires for the return fixture next weekend.

See you then!

78' Los Pumas need two scores to snatch it.

No way, Jose.

72' Well done Faf.

The scrum-half has enjoyed a good outing this evening and goes over from close range after sustained Bok pressure around the poles.

Will that do the trick?

68' Oh dear.

The substitutes combine to let Los Pumas in for an intercept try.

Willemse's long pass flies over Van Staden, allowing Matias Moroni to snap up the chance and reduce the deficit.

64' Hotshot Damian Willemse is on for Andre Esterhuizen.

Lets see what the Stormers fly-half has up his sleeve on debut.

Marco van Staden is also on in green for the first time.

60' But that suits the Boks just fine. They have a 13-point lead going into the last quarter.

54' "Make mine a double," says Mapimpi.

He cruises into the right corner for the second time in four minutes and the Boks are putting some breathing space on the board here.

50' And the pressure tells!

First Marx and then Beast are prevented from going in by last-ditch tackles.

De Klerk spies an opportunity to the right, though, and picks out Makazole Mapimpi who scores the easiest try of his life in the corner.

49' On home turf and he's bossed that scrum like a good 'un.

Pressure on the South Americans now.

44' Dyantyi!

He's in again, speeding on to the kind bounce of De Klerk's kick through by the touchline.

Boffelli brings him down, but the Lions star lurches out an arm on the ground to put the Boks back in front.
