Contepomi eyes perfect time to end Springbok duck

FELIPE CONTEPOMI cannot envisage a better time for Argentina to break their duck against South Africa than in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

The Pumas secured a date with the Springboks next Sunday by clinching a narrow 19-13 win over Scotland in a last-eight battle of attrition at the Stade de France on Sunday night.

They continue a relentless pursuit of glory in a World Cup they are taking by storm, and remain unbeaten heading into the semis.
