The third-place play-off was played yesterday as the Springboks faced the Pumas, it was South Africa versus Argentina.
Neither team could make it to the World Cup final, however. But both teams had the chance to fight for a medal which still mattered.
The match was to be a hard one, South Africa had been great all tournament whilst Argentina have surprised us by also being great.
Here are fifteen pictures to sum up the penultimate round of this year’s Rugby World Cup.
