The 2004 South Africa rugby union tour of Argentina and Europe was a series of matches played by the Springboks during November and December 2004 in Great Britain, Ireland, and Argentina.

Their goal of obtaining a Grand Slam failed due to losses against Ireland and England. While the Springboks were in the British Isles, the South Africa A team made a three match tour of Argentina.

Matches

Wales

South Africa were originally scheduled to play against Wales on 4 December 2004; however, that resulted in a clash with Heineken Cup fixtures and the match was moved to 6 November instead.[1] South Africa managed a narrow victory over Wales thanks to 23 points from their goalkicker Percy Montgomery; in addition to three conversions and four penalties, he also scored the last of South Africa's four tries.[2]

Ireland

The dream of obtaining the Grand Slam vanished in the second match. Ronan O' Gara on one side, and Percy Montgomery on the other, were the only scorers for their respective teams. Ireland obtained their first victory against the Springboks in 39 years.[3]
