Wales out of Rugby World Cup after defeat to Argentina

World

Wales have been knocked out of the Rugby World Cup after losing in a quarter final against Argentina 29-17.

Warren Gatland’s side had been tipped as the favourites before the clash in Marseille.

But after their defeat, Argentina now progress to the last four in France to face either Ireland or New Zealand, who play later this evening.

A breakaway try by Nicolás Sánchez sealed the victory for Argentina, with Emiliano Boffelli kicking the resulting conversion to put them nine points ahead.

Joel Sclavi and Nicolas Sanchez scored late tries for their country as Argentina triumphed in the tense battle in front of a raucous crowd at the Stade de Marseille.

Wales had led 10-0 after the first quarter of the game as flyhalf Dan Biggar scored an early try, but ill-discipline allowed Argentina back into the contest.
