The Pumas arrived in Paris yesterday to prepare for Friday’s scheduled match against the All Blacks in the build-up to the semi-finals of the France 2023 World Cup. The Albiceleste delegation came from Marseille, where, last Saturday, they were defeated. Wales went 29 to 17 to enter the top four of the World Cup.
The Argentine team, led by Australian coach Michael Cheika, stayed at the Renaissance Paris Hotel near St Cloud Racecourse. The team returns to training today with a view to Friday’s 4:00pm clash at Stade de France.
The unknown will determine whether the Santa Fe center will continue to be available for the Santiago SocoBares after he suffered a concussion in last Saturday’s game. If he gets the nod from the medical protocol, the current Toulouse player could even be in contention against the New Zealanders from the start.
Coach Cheika will present the list of 23 members who will be affected by Argentina’s third semi-final appearance in World Cup history. In France 2007, Las Pumas fell 37 to 13 to South Africa, while in England 2015, executioners Australia booked their ticket to the final after a 29 to 15 win.
