Argentina beats Samoa to reach Rugby World Cup quarterfinals contention

Argentina kept their World Cup dream alive with an edgy 19-10 win over Samoa. The Pumas lost their opening match to England 13 days ago and their hopes of progressing to the Rugby World Cup knockout stages were on a knife edge as they faced off against Samoa. The result leaves Argentina in fourth in Pool D. England are top, Samoa second, Japan are in third with Chile in fourth.

Argentina recovered from their crushing loss to England to keep alive their Rugby World Cup dream with an edgy 19-10 victory over Samoa at a saturated Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Étienne.
The Pumas had 13 days to pore over being kicked to death by England fly-half Tom Ford in a debilitating 27-10 defeat in Marseille in their tournament opener, but responded well against a typically robust Samoa side, who had to contend with a six-day turnaround after defeating Chile 43-10.
