Argentina have come out tops of Pool A after their great performances in the Pool Stages. Los Pumas beat the Irish to ensure this on Saturday. Argentina 30 Ireland 15.

Ireland started the game under a great deal of pressure as they had to score 4 tries and also win by more than 7 points. Against a inform Argentina this was no easy task. O’Driscoll and Murphy managed to score 2 of the four tries that were needed. However the Argentina defense was unbelievable and their forwards work rate was through the roof. It was clear from the get go that Argentina was not going to play in their own half and pinned the Irish back for most of the match. Los Pumas have proven again why they are a force to be reckoned with this tournament.

Winning Pool A means that Argentina will face Scotland next while France will play the All Blacks.
