Chile gave the Argentina XV a good challenge in the forwards with the young home pack feeling the wait of Los Cóndores in the scrum. The Chileans also caused plenty of problems at the breakdown, winning penalties in the process.
The two teams are to be back in action again this coming Saturday. The Argentina XV will play away to Chile in the resort town of Punta del Este while Chile travel to North America to face the USA in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
