Meanwhile England beat Argentina 38-34 in a dramatic game in San Juan in Sam Vesty’s first game as Skills Coach for the national side.
Jack Singleton was named on the bench for England but will be hoping for his first cap in this Saturday’s second Test with the Pumas.
Francois Hougaard came off the bench for South Africa on Saturday, helping to create a try for Jan Serfontein as the Springboks went on to beat France 37-14 in Pretoria.
Elsewhere, Joe Taufete’e played 39 minutes at loosehead prop for USA as they lost 55-19 against Ireland in New Jersey.
