Oh sh*t, Matera's injury looks serious.

Great try to the Argies.

Japan their own worst enemy

Lovely team try. Great take by the FB

Both teams have come to play
Great watch

Japan need to protect the ball better

Really refreshing to see both sides being reffed to the same standard.

Great try

Fabulous try

Fabulous half of rugby

All to play for

Japan aren't done yet...

Not by a long way

Argentina’s tries whilst well taken have come from Japan errors

They've made some clangers combined with terrible decision making. Joseph to tear a new one at halftime and Japan to come out and go up a gear.

What a half of rugby

Still really loose by Japan and not the accuracy you expect from them. Argentina will edge it if Japan don't get their heads in the game.

Well taken droppie.

This is a wonderful watch

End to end

BOK just there to restart the match

Easy peasy. Japan doing the hokey cokey. In and out of the game.

Great try

That long, inaccurate miss pass to the winger is killing Japan

Butchered that

Take the scrum

Excellent

What a contest

Some game this. Brave attacking rugby from both sides.

Japan 27 Argentina 29

Fuck this is brilliant

What a score!

Japan 27 Argentina 34

This is an all-time classic in Nantes.

Hat trick for Carreras.

This game is a great watch. It's so close and still everything at stake.

Japan 27 Argentina 36.

Ten minutes to go.

Can Japan respond?

Yuck eh. Argentina kick long, Japanese fullback fields it and does a nothing kick straight away without even looking up, just turns it over to Argentina with a 30m gain without even trying.

Clutch

That’s the match for the Argies

Great game

Take a bow Argentina
Take a bow Japan
Take a bow BOK

Japan have been disappointing for me. So many crappy decisions and just switching off. Well taken win by Argentina though.

Yep

Had more than enough pill to win

One minute to go. The Pumas are going to win.

Hopefully this is the kick up the arse Argentina need to start playing to their potential.

All over. Argentina win. A QF against Wales awaits and a great opportunity to go deep into the tournament.

We can do them

That was the best pool game to actually watch despite the errors etc.

Final QF spot on the line and both teams threw everything at it. Thought the pace of the game was excellent. Some excellent tries.

Argies showed a little more accuracy.

Surely on the evidence so far BOK gets the final if the ABs don't make it.

Not that it made any difference but watching the end of the game Leitch was definitely tackled in the air before the Japan accidental offside. I don't know how BOK and the ARs missed that.
