Rassie Erasmus just watched his squad drop a 43-0 shutout on Wales, and the man is already nitpicking the gameplay like a ranked grinder. Six tries, a suffocating defensive wall in greasy Durban conditions, and zero points conceded had the Springbok boss satisfied, though he flagged that rotation keeps chipping away at squad cohesion ahead of the Argentina trip.

Erasmus confirmed the squad splits for South America, with 26 players traveling and roughly 15 staying behind to prep for the New Zealand clashes. He also highlighted set-piece fixes, noting the lineout went flawlessly and the maul finally clicked after a shaky previous outing.

Debutant Vusi Moyo, just 20 and the youngest ever to start at fly-half for the Boks, showed visible early nerves but earned Erasmus's respect for handling the pressure. Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu should return for the Argentina leg, though Handre Pollard pulled a hamstring and sits out.

The coach wrapped up by warning that Los Pumas will hit way harder than Wales did, calling them the one side that has genuinely troubled this group over the past several years.
