Springbok attack coach Tony Brown has revealed that he was also in contention for a role with Argentina before deciding to join Rassie Erasmus' coaching team.
Argentine Rugby Union is leading a bid to host the 2035 Rugby World Cup with South American neighbours Uruguay, Chile and Brazil.
Despite being reduced to 13 men, Argentina dug deep to claim a 28-28 draw against Australia at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, but it was not enough to prevent the Wallabies from winning the Puma Trophy.
The Wallabies continued their impressive start to the Les Kiss era with a hard-fought 27-21 victory over Argentina in Jujuy, surviving a fierce second-half fightback from Los Pumas.
Utility back Canan Moodie says the Springboks got what they needed from a tough match against Argentina, despite not being at their best for much of the game.
Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus claimed that while their performance was far from perfect, he was pleased with the character shown in their gritty 17-10 win over Argentina.
