[QUOTE="shtove, post: 135453"] [b]Argentina crush Chile [/b]2007-8-5 17:55Buenos Aires - Flyhalf Felipe Contepomi scored 25 points with a try and 10 conversions as Argentina crushed Chile 70-14 in their last home match before the World Cup in France starting next month. The Pumas, who made 11 changes in the second half, ran in 10 tries including two each from fullback Federico Serra and flanker Juan Fernandez Lobbe against their weak trans-Andean neighbours in Saturday's Test. Argentina fell behind twice early in the match when Chile wing Cristobal Berti intercepted two Contepomi passes to score tries, which he converted, but they fought back to lead 28-14 at the interval. There was one negative note for coach Marcelo Loffreda. Centre Gonzalo Tiesi took a knock on the cheek and could miss the World Cup if there is a fracture, team sources said. Argentina meet Wales in Cardiff in another Test on Aug 18. The also face Belgium, who will be reinforced by several French players, in their last warm-up on Aug 25 before playing hosts France in the World Cup's opening game in Paris on Sept 7. Conti's still sending out the intercepts? That's the kind of flowing play I like! The next match is going to be interesting - I can see the full Wales backrow getting at Pichot and Conti. [/QUOTE]
