I've got Argy 1-12 + Straya (-15.5).

Loving this match so far, for selfish and non-selfish reasons !

Argentina took every point on offer to them with the exception of one penalty. I'd be pretty happy with the score if I were them. The drop off in the 2nd quarter would worry me though.

A start to the second half like the first and those worries will evaporate. They'll be over the hill and out of sight.

This Ireland team isn't built to chase down teams.

Argie bench is not crash hot - particularly scrum time. They'll need another 10 points to get their tails up but I still back Ireland from here.

My feeling is that the Argies will fade after 60. They burnt a lot of emotion in the first 20 mins. They will need another converted try before 60 to carry it home.

Unless they have the game well in hand, they usually tend to fade after 60 -- TRC, New Zealand in the opening round. Even in their win over South Africa, they scored all their tries in the first 42 minutes, and the rest was penalties and a drop goal.

Ayerza's attempt to roll away there was almost rugby league-ish, just wiggling and flopping on the ground. Best looked like he was asking "Whadaya doing?"

That penalty against Sanchez was rough - Murray has form for passing the ball at opposition players coming back on side - he got a warning for it against Italy
