Contepomi: Hard work starts now

ARGENTINA captain Felipe Contepomi looked ahead to the World Cup quarter-final with New Zealand after his side sealed their place in the knockout stages with a 25-7 win over Georgia at Arena Manawatu in Palmerston North.

Contepomi claimed 13 points and Juan Jose Imhoff and Agustin Gosio also scored tries as the Pumas advanced as Pool B runners-up behind England and ahead of Scotland, who now return home before the knockout stages for the first time in World Cup history.

“Okay, we won, but I think we have a lot to do in the next week,” Contepomi said.
