WARE - New Zealand is behind them. And now it's time for Georgia. Argentina's players have no time to wallow in regret after the chance they let slip away against the All Blacks at Wembley Stadium in their Rugby World Cup opener on Sunday, and their attention now is fully on the team they'll be facing in Gloucester on Friday. Besides, with the Lelos' win against Tonga, the match has become all or nothing for the Pumas.

"I hope we have a good recovery over the next few days, which is what matters most," said Juan Martin Hernandez, who started against Georgia in Lyon in the 2007 World Cup. "We've already done all the physical work. It will be a very difficult match, and they are full of confidence after their victory. They have one more day to rest."

The teams haven't played each other often but they faced off in the previous two World Cups - with two comfortable Argentine wins (33-3 and 25-7). They also played a test match in 2013 in San Juan, in which the Pumas celebrated a 29-18 win under Santiago Phelan.

"We ended up exhausted, very tired," Juan Imhoff said of the All Blacks Test. "We gave everything we had against New Zealand. But World Cups are like that. We know that Friday is going to be harder than this one because of the pressure. We need to have a good rest, because it's a long tournament."

Argentina's staff have analysed Georgia, but still the match against Tonga surprised them.

"They showed a defensive structure that was much more organized than the one we had seen; we thought it would be messier, sloppy, and yet they were organized and that turned on a warning light," said German Fernandez, Daniel Hourcade's assistant coach.

For now, no player has been ruled out of Friday's match in Gloucester. Guido Petti, who suffered a whiplash injury, should recover, while Leonardo Senatore, who suffered bruising on his left leg, will also be ready to play. But, after a tough battle against New Zealand, the coach could make some changes for the team to be fresher against rivals who promise to be tough contenders.
