Well, possibly not, but nevertheless Iain Spragg will be here shortly to let you know everything that happens in Leicester this afternoon.
In the meantime, why not read Simon Briggs's report of Argentina's last match, a 45-16 victory over Tonga:
After appearances from Prince Harry and Prince William during the early stages of this World Cup, Argentina enjoyed a visit from a different kind of royalty yesterday. Diego Maradona, the greatest No 10 in football history, cheered them on to a 45-16 victory against a dogged and hugely physical Tonga side.
The Pumas might never have won the World Cup – as their round-ball cousins have done twice – but they are building nicely towards a quarter-final against either France or Ireland in a fortnight’s time. And Maradona left them with an extra incentive as he departed. “He said that if we reach the semi-finals he will be there,” Agustin Creevy, the Argentine captain, said.
• Argentina vs Tonga: Pumas win thriller
Whether Maradona was really in Leicester out of his love of rugby, or was part of a smart bit of ambush marketing (he came covered in Puma branding), must be a moot point. Either way, this match should have encouraged him to return, for it was another sparkling display of running rugby, complete with more dummies than a branch of Mothercare. Perhaps that is why he was in such high spirits after the game.
Nicolas Sanchez on his way to scoring a try
“For me, Maradona was always the best, and it was a very nice surprise when he took the time to come and see us,” Creevy said. “He took shirts nine, 10 and two, gave us one of his shirts as well and gave us a speech. He said the whole of Argentina is with us and that’s the reason he’s here. We danced and played the Rodrigo song [La Mano de Dios, or The Hand of God]. It was beautiful and something different for us.”
It was a good day on the pitch for another No 10, the Pumas’ back-up fly-half, Nico Sanchez, who landed eight of his 10 kicks to move to 51 points for the tournament – six clear of Japan’s Ayumu Goromaru in second place. Although to call Sanchez the Boot of God might be a little previous. For Argentina’s next game, against Namibia on Sunday, he is likely to give way to the vastly more experienced Juan Martin Hernandez.
Argentina were too fit in the end for the spirited Tongans, claiming five tries to their opponents’ two in a scoreline that looks like a blow-out. But their lead was only four points in the early stages of the second half, and the Tongas had them worried throughout with their ability to rumble over the gain line, often while carrying two or three players on their backs.
Soane Tonga'uiha scores a try
In times gone by, Argentina would have closed down the wider channels and used their lumbering pack to gradually wear out the opposition, picking off points via penalties won at the scrum. Happily, though, the new-look Pumas are vastly more ambitious.
Their sheer exuberance boiled over at times, as they threw crazy wide passes and attempted miracle chips when a more direct approach might have made life easier. But this readiness to take risks also paid off with some spectacular scores, most notably when they touched down twice with successive length-of-the-field moves midway through the first half.
If Maradona attracted his fair share of camera lenses, the most charismatic player on the field was Santiago Cordero, a 21-year-old flyer who stands just 5ft 9in tall but can really turn on the afterburners. The most purely exhilarating moment of this memorable match came when Cordero fielded a kick-off, rounded the pursuing Tongans on the outside and scorched his way 50 yards upfield, before delivering a perfectly timed pass that set up a try for Juan Imhoff.
