Argentina have won their second match on the trot, defeating the Georgians 33 - 3. They're sitting at the top of Pool D.
I love dark horses - it's one of the reasons the RWC is so interesting. Given the French are in this pool one would have thought they'd have a clear run through the round stage. It appears this may be the case for the South Americans instead. They've to play Ireland yet, but they'll easily defeat Namibia when it's their turn.
So, is it feasible the Argentinians will make it through to the semis? If they win their pool they'll play the 2nd-placer from Pool C in the quarter-finals, which could well be the Scots. The Scots are a good team. The Argentinians are passionate, physical players. It could be anyone's game, but I think the South Americans will do it. They've an impressive record in internationals this season, winning 7 out of 8 they've played.
Wouldn't it be great to see another Southern Hemisphere team make it to the final rounds of the Cup! Sure makes their case for inclusion in the Trinations even stronger.
Ole!
