Argentina's 19-10 win over Samoa in Pool D of the Rugby World Cup in Saint-Etienne on Friday night would have been watched with much interest at the Japan team hotel in Toulouse. The victory keeps the Pumas alive in the tournament following their opening-round loss to England and the four points they earned left them just one point behind Japan and Samoa, and five behind England. Chile, the fifth team in the group, are currently without a point ahead of their game Saturday against England in Lille.
