Just watched the performance of the Rugby World Cup to date. Argentina put in the most complete display against a competitive side so far. They were superb from front to back and the signs are ominous for Scotland next Sunday. Their pack mauled brilliantly and they hammered every breakdown winning an amazing amount of turnover ball. Ireland played their part and were fully committed, as you would expect, but they were well beaten in the end.

Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are certs for the semis. Argentina will join them if they can reproduce todays form. I'll be having a small wager at decent odds on Scotland to create an upset - they have a big game in them at this tournament (and it wasn't beating Italy) but the Pumas will need to be off-peak.
