Argentina rout hapless Chile

Under the astute coachong of Pablo Bouza the Argentine XV scored 13 tries to two at Estadio Municipal in the Chgilean capital of La Pintana.

The Argentina XV ended the game as a contest well before half-time, having scored 60 points in a first-half rout.

After the break Chile put up more than just token resistance, but there was no way back in the game and Bouza gave his entire bench a run.
