Pumas object to Georgia fixture

ARGENTINE manager Marcello Loffreda has slammed IRB chiefs for forcing his side to play their second game of the Rugby World Cup tomorrow — four days after their sensational victory over tournament hosts, France.

As Loffreda made six changes from the side which defeated the French for the tie against Georgia, he complained it was morally wrong to expect a rugby team to have such a short turn around.

“None of the other top seeded teams, and we’re listed at six of the top eight, have been scheduled to play in midweek. They all have a week to recover, and I find that a bit strange.
