Argentina are through to the semi finals of Rugby World Cup 2023 after Nicolas Sanchez’s late try and penalty secured a 29-17 victory over Wales at Stade de Marseille this morning.

A Dan Biggar try and three points from his boot gave Wales a 10-6 lead going into half-time, but Emiliano Boffelli nudged the Pumas in front with his fourth penalty in the 48th minute.

Tomos Williams then darted over to hand the lead back to Wales before Joel Sclavi dived over from close range to give Argentina a two-point lead following the conversion.

Sanchez then put the finishing touches on the victory with an intercept try that saw him flooded by his jubilant teammates in the in-goal area before slotting a penalty in the last act of the game to steer his side into the semi finals.

Meanwhile, Ireland will meet the All Blacks at 7 this morning, the Fiji Water Flying Fijians will face England at 3am tomorrow and host France will take on the Springboks at 7am tomorrow.
