There has been the sound this week of tables being turned. Australia go into Sunday’s semi-final against Argentina having developed their opponents’ relish for scrummaging, while the Pumas have acquired the Wallabies’ relish for playing with a flourish out wide.

Born almost exactly a year after his fellow scrum-half, Cubelli has been forced to share the No.9 shirt with his elder colleague from age-group national teams right up to the senior Pumas set-up.It is an approach that has again been in evidence during the Rugby World Cup with Cubelli starting the first two games -- against New Zealand and Georgia -- and Landajo coming into Daniel Hourcade's Read more [...]

They have already surprised some with the margin of victory over Ireland last Sunday, but what price an All Blacks v Argentina final?
