The Junior Springboks produced their best performance in years, thrashing Argentina by a record margin, while scoring 11 tries to book their place in the World Rugby Under-20 Championship semifinals.
South Africa 72 (31) Argentina 14 (14)
It was an emphatic display in Tbilisi, Georgia, by the ever-improving Junior Springboks.
It started from rock-solid scrums and lineouts and continued with an attacking tactical kicking master-class and brilliant interplay from the backs.
Last year South Africa lost twice to Argentina in Manchester, including the bronze medal match, so there was an element of atonement for the Junior Boks.
However, it becomes only more difficult from here on, despite this being their biggest win at the tournament since 2008.
It was not a perfect performance though, with centre Wandisile Simelane earning a yellow card for tripping - the same offence that earned him a yellow in game one against France.
The Junior Boks were also not pressured on defence and when they were, they conceded two tries.
If their semifinal opponents are England or New Zealand (that will have been finalised last night) they will have to sharpen their defence.
Flyhalf Curwin Bosch scored 17 points but also missed four out of 12 kicks at goal, which leaves room for improvement.
But that is nit-picking in what was a comprehensive display, which showed the vast talent this country has coming through every season.
