With many of their first-choice players out with injury, few expected the Azzurri to beat South Africa last weekend. Even so, the scale of the 66-7 loss will have come as a shock to the system, with Gonzalo Quesada’s side still looking for their first win in the competition.
The Pumas may have beaten Wales in July, but they’re also struggling to make a mark in the tournament. They’ll be favourites today but, after last weekend’s 42-12 loss in Dublin, are a long way away from their best form.
