Ledesma has dropped Argentina’s top points-scorer Nicolás Sánchez for a game they have to win to reach the quarter-finalsArgentina are far from peaking for what their coach, Mario Ledesma, has described as their “final” against
England in their third match at this
World Cup on Saturday.
The test against Eddie Jones’s team is Argentina’s biggest since they lost their semi-final to Australia at Twickenham four years ago. Only a win in Tokyo will reignite Los Pumas’ chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals after the opening defeat by France. Losing would send them home with a dead-rubber game against the
USA to be negotiated four days later.
