Argentina v Georgia

Summary

Time	Score
31	5 - 0	The Pumas finally get some momentum going courtesy of Fernandez and Leguizamon before the ball is worked wide to Cabello, who offloads nicely to Juan Imhoff. The wing still has a bit to do but he shows good strength in shrugging off a couple of tackles on his way to the line. Almost inevitably, Contepomi fails to convert.
38	5 - 5	Terrific riposte from the Georgians! They spread the ball out to the right wing to Todua, who chips the ball in behind the Pumas defence. Lasha Khmaladze is first to it and he gathers before cruising through to score.
39	5 - 7	Urjukashvili converts from wide on the right and Georgia lead!
51	8 - 7	Some stray Georgian hands in the ruck and that's a penalty in a very kickable penalty position which even Contepomi shouldn't miss. And he doesn't. The Pumas back in front.
58	11 - 7	Contepomi - penalty goal
68	16 - 7	The Pumas break off the scrum and Amorosino and Agulla take them up to within five metres of the Georgian line. They then work the ball swiftly from right to left and Contepomi dives over after jinking inside a couple of tacklers.
69	18 - 7	The Stade Francais playmaker then converts. Game over.
78	23 - 7	After a solid scrum, they work it wide well to Imhoff, who plays a lovely little grubber down the right wing. Agustin Gosio is first to it and he gathers before diving over for a try on his international debut.
79	25 - 7	Bosch converts quite brilliantly from inches in from the touchline. And that's the game. Argentina progress to the quarter-finals.
