LEICESTER WING Horacio Agulla insists Argentina must put any thoughts of the World Cup quarter-finals to the back of their minds ahead of tomorrow’s Pool B decider against Georgia.
Argentina head into the final round of matches level on points with Scotland, who are in action against England in Auckland today.
If Scotland keep their own quarter-finals dreams alive with a victory by eight points at Eden Park, the Pumas would require a four-try victory.
“We are close to qualifying but we have to play this game 110 per cent to win,” said Agulla.
“I think it will be a very tough game, very physical. Georgia is such a strong team that I think will not feel the fatigue of having played in the week.
“From what I saw, they get stronger and play better and I don’t think Sunday will be an exception.”
The injury-hit Pumas set up their qualification chance with a 13-12 victory over Scotland last weekend but were left to count the cost.
Inspirational number eight Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe is out for the tournament with a torn knee ligament, while Rodrigo Roncero is sidelined this weekend with a thigh strain.
Leonardo Senatore replaces Lobbe, while Leicester prop Marcos Ayerza starts in place of Roncero.
Georgia have made six changes following their 25-9 victory over Romania on Wednesday, naming their most experienced World Cup line-up ever with a total of 563 caps.
