Los Pumas make history
In last game of the quarter-final was played at the Stade de France, Argentina managed to beat Scotland by 19 to 13 and is a semifinalist at the RWC 2007.
Neither team risked too much on the kickoff. When they opened the ball to the backs, the ball rarely went beyond the opening. The number ten out of kicking team to charge to fund the initiative by giving our rivals, though none were encouraged greatly.
This picture is looking to score by kicking. But not a drop Hernandez, Felipe Contepomi and a penalty, could add to Argentina. Dan Parks had different fate than about 16 minutes opened the scoring for Scotland.
The Pumas had more ball possession and the Scots were the most sought to advance the field.
About 22 minutes Felipe honed his marksmanship and scored twice through penalty kicks to turn the scoreboard. Eight of the final, Gonzalo Longo Elia plugged a kick about 22 meters and won in the race his two markers to support the first try Argentina. Scotland
discounted on closing with a penalty from Chris Paterson and partially closed 13-6 for the Pumas, which are now more than its rival.

The second half was back to the kickers as protagonists. In order to continue holding off his rival, continued looking to place the ball in the end. Felipe Contepomi added a penalty in the boot and Hernandez had three more with a drop. The Cougars were 19-6 up.
At 22 minutes of an error Argentine wine lethal counterattack that ended with Cusiter Scotland supporting the flag and adding a difficult conversion Paterson helped by the club.
The end was in Scotland with the ball in Argentina. But there organized and ran into a tough defense that will shut all doors to get the win. Had the opportunity, but not ideas.
