[QUOTE="Croket66, post: 747866, member: 58839"] Argentina is huge favorite but they have only 5 rest days (1 day less than Georgia) and played a tougher opponent than Georgia. Also, Georgia knows well the stadium, they played Tonga here and also Japan last 5th September. Georgia's defence is impressive (more than 200 tackles against Tonga, with 93% success) and their scrum is very strong. Georgia was always a tough opponent for Argentina, especially during the first half : June 2013 : Argentina 29-18 Georgia (half time : 9-12) RWC 2011 : Argentina 25-7 Georgia (half time : 5-7) RWC 2007 : Argentina 33-3 Georgia (half time : 6-3) But it seem, thanks to a 10-weeks physical training camp (including cryotherapy at the Olympic Centre in Poland) and a new strength and conditioning staff with Calvin Morris (worked with England from 2002 to 2012) and Scott Crean (current Clermont's strength and conditioning coach), Georgia was physically impressive during 70 minutes (they struggled a bit last 10 minutes). Usually, it was really hard for them from min 60 against a strong opponent. I'd say its 75%-25% for Argentina [/QUOTE]
