PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (Reuters) - Argentina's recent slump continued with a 37-15 defeat to South Africa on Saturday that left coach Daniel Hourcade frustrated with their meekness in the scrums and errors with ball in hand.

The loss in their Rugby Championship opener at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium meant Argentina have just three wins in their previous 15 internationals - against a South African side enduring their worst ever season in 2016, Japan and Georgia.
