The national team of Argentina reached the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup after a meeting with Wales

Argentina became the first country to reach the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup in France.

The team, prepared by Mykhailo Cheika, achieved a very important success, although the opponent led at halftime with a score of 10-6.

Although Boffelli had a chance to open the scoring (he converted a penalty), Biggar opened the match for Wales with his first try of the game.

In the second half, the Argentines made a great comeback and were able to take the lead thanks to the persistence of Boffelli and essays by Sclavi (68th minute) and Sanchez (77th minute).
