Rugby World Cup: Boffelli stars as Pumas beat Samoa 19-10

Emiliano Boffelli scored 16 points as Argentina kept their Rugby World Cup quarter final hopes alive with a hard-earned 19-10 victory over Samoa.

The Pumas recovered from their opening game defeat by England to kickstart their campaign at a rain-drenched Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Boffelli converted his own try and kicked three penalties.

Former Australia fly-half Christian Leali'ifano missed two of his three penalties in the first half as Argentina led by 10 points at the break.

The Pumas remain fourth in the table despite what is only their second-ever win over the Pacific Islanders, who stay second behind leaders England.

Meanwhile, Georgia takes on Portugal at 12am tomorrow, England plays Chile at 3.45am and South Africa plays Ireland at 7am tomorrow.
