Argentina storm into World Cup semifinals

Argentina piled more World Cup misery on Ireland by reaching the last four of the competition with a 43-20 victory in Cardiff.

81'		FULL TIME ANALYSIS ESPN's Rob Bartlett had this to say: "Realistically, with tiring bodies and a rising tension, the second half at the Millennium Stadium was never going to better the first. Ireland started slow in the first 40 but this time it was Argentina's turn to hesitate from the restart. Jordi Murphy's try brought the house down before another rousing rendition of Fields of Athenry filled all four corners of this coliseum. The Pumas looked to be crumbling under the pressure and Herrera was lucky not to be sent off as the infringements from blue and white racked up. However, the boot of Sanchez stayed as majestic as it has been all tournament and, following superb finishes from Tuculet and Imhoff, Argentina's fans began to party. For them, this will go down as one of their greatest World Cup victories and will no doubt be celebrated in fitting fashion. But it will also go down as a dark day for northern hemisphere rugby. "
