They win 39-27 for the right to take on Wales in the quarterfinals next Saturday.
NANTES: A clinical hattrick from winger Mateo Carreras helped hoist Argentina into the World Cup quarterfinals with a 39-27 victory over Japan in a winner-takes-all Pool D shootout at Stade de la Beaujoire today.
“It’s been so competitive, everyone’s fighting for their lives,” said a relieved Pumas coach Michael Cheika. “I guess as a coach you can’t ask for much more,” said Jamie Joseph, whose seven-year reign as Japan coach ended with the defeat. Japan hit back 14 minutes later in unlikely fashion when lock Fakatava put up a speculative chip kick on the wing and showed a great turn of pace to regather it and trundle over the line for a score.
Boffelli extended the lead to 15-7 with a penalty before Labuschagne returned but it was Japan who went into the break with the momentum after Saito crossed in the 38th minute to make it a one-point game.
