How much do Argentina have left in the tank? The answer should be clear in the second half of a ferocious forwards clash between the Pumas and South Africa on Sunday. Cracks appeared among the Pumas last Sunday when they let slip a 19-6 lead around the hour mark to give Scotland a sniff at victory. The Springboks are too dangerous for anybody to afford easing off at any time.
Argentina are expecting their World Cup semifinal against South Africa in Paris on Sunday to be a bruising, no-holds barred encounter. The Pumas won through to the last four of the tournament for the first time with a narrow 19-13 win over Scotland in the quarterfinals at the Stade de France last Sunday.
