BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - South Africa can recover from last weekend's shock defeat by Argentina in Durban by going on to win the World Cup, captain Victor Matfield said on Friday.

The experienced lock, who will lead the side against the Pumas on Saturday in their last test before the Sept. 18-Oct. 31 tournament, told Reuters the Springboks were raring to get on the field at Velez Sarsfield to make amends.
