Santiago Carreras of Argentina acknowledges the fans after their rout of Chile in their Rugby World Cup match against Chile at Stade de la Beaujoire in Nantes on Saturday. Test centurion, flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez, scored 20 points to add to Los Pumas' rout of their fellow South Americans.
Sanchez, 34, celebrated his 100th Test with a perfect goal-kicking display and a try to set up a winner-takes-all fixture with Japan next Sunday back at the Stade de la Beaujoire.Whoever claims victory will join England from Pool D in the last eight, where they will in all likelihood play Wales or Fiji.
There was a fervent atmosphere at the sun-kissed Stade de la Beaujoire, filled with South Americans from both sides of the Andes, for a first game between two countries from the continent at a World Cup. Cheika's side were in control and stretched their advantage to 24-0 after 25 minutes as flanker Juan Martin Gonzalez and 38-year-old Creevy benefited from rolling mauls to score against opponents they first faced in 1936 in Chile's first Test match.
