Rugby World Cup: Argentina welcomes quarter-final opposition

Argentina head coach Daniel Hourcade believes his side have the firepower to worry anyone as the Rugby World Cup enters the knockout stages this weekend.

The Pumas completed Pool C with a nine-try, 64-19 win over Namibia at Filbert Way and have scored more points than holders New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Wales in their first four games.

Ireland or France, who met in Pool D yesterday, will provide the opposition in the last eight but Hourcade is unfazed by whoever the Pumas face.

“We have the weapons we need to go against our rivals,” Hourcade said.

“Ireland play in the northern hemisphere and play that way but they’ve got some characteristics from the southern hemisphere, so they play a bit differently, very dynamic.

“We feel comfortable with that, because we’re used to that sort of game.

“With France we may need to fight more in the breakdowns.”
