Argentina scored three tries in five second-half minutes to defeat Georgia at Kingsholm and claim their first win in Pool C of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Tomas Cubelli, Juan Imhoff and Santiago Cordero all crossed for the Pumas while Georgia captain Mamuka Gorgodze was in the sin-bin shortly after the break.
Tries from Martin Landajo, Cordero and Imhoff took the Pumas over 50 points.
Tomas Lavanini had given Argentina an early lead but Merab Kvirikashvili’s boot meant it was 14-9 at half-time.
The match was finely poised at 14-9 when Gorgodze was sin-binned by referee JP Doyle.
The Toulon back row was onside initially as he attempted to turn the ball over at a ruck, but he failed to support his weight and was sent to the bin.
During that period, his side conceded 21 points and by the time he returned the game was effectively lost.
Even with Gorgodze’s helping hand Argentina seem sure to be exacting opponents for Ireland or France – who they are likely to face in the quarter-finals – with a big mobile pack, the best set of backs they have had and an eagerness to play with width.
An early arm wrestle
Nicolas Sanchez opened the scoring for Argentina with a first for this Rugby World up – a drop-goal, albeit an ugly one.
Sanchez was then part of a terrific handling move that saw Lavanini dive over for his second international try.
Impressive full-back Kvirikashvili brought Georgia to within two points with two penalties before he and Sanchez traded further kicks after the half-hour mark as the Georgians closed the half very much in the game.
Juan Martin Hernandez limped off injured for Argentina with what appeared to be a groin injury and the fitness of ‘El Mago’ will be of concern to the Pumas. BBC Sport
