- 931
Having pushed New Zealand all the way in their U20 clash on Saturday, Argentina are trying their best to stay positive following a 32-29 defeat.
Otere Black’s penalty three minutes from time snatched the result for the Baby Blacks in a crushing loss for the Pumitas, who were also beaten at the death by Ireland in their opening game.
As a result they hold two points in Pool C despite having only lost by two points and three points in each of the respective games thus far.
Coach Nicolas Fernandez Lobbe has called on his squad to keep their heads up and fight on, even though they sit third in the table with a game to go.
"Last week we lost to a penalty in the last minutes of the match and again today. We have to keep our head up, again,” said Fernandez Lobbe.
"We learned a lot from this match, the boys played a great match, we have to adjust our mistakes for the match against Scotland. The boys have to be ready first of all in their head and not only on their legs."
