The fly-half then hit the post with his conversion but the signs were ominous for Argentina and they were nearly shocked again when Sonatane Takulua burst through only to fumble the ball under pressure five metres short of the line.
It was a sign of their confidence but came back to haunt them as Morath kicked a penalty to reduce the deficit before prop Soane Tonga’uiha pulled it back to 20-13 three minutes before the break.
Fly-half Nicolas Sanchez’s kicking was deadly and he also scored a late try as Juan Imhoff became his country’s record World Cup try-scorer during a first-half blitz. After smashing the Georgian side 54-9, Argentina will be quietly confident in taking on the Tongans, who themselves lost to Georgia in Round 1 10-17.

“We must not wait 40 minutes to get going as we did in the last meeting”. “We let ourselves down with our ball control and discipline”.
Club Newman hooker Julian Montoya sealed the bonus point with eight-minutes to play before Santiago Cordero added insult to injury with a fifth try during the last play of the match. Morath could’t close the gap further with the conversion, but after seven minutes of madness, Tonga were glad to still be in the game.
