And here’s our report.

Thanks everyone for joining me. Not the best, was it? But Argentina have their win. Samoa not clinical enough.

Will catch you soon.

Here’s Michael Cheika, Argentina’s coach:

I think we got off the mark, we got off the bus and we turned up for the game. We lacked a bit of that clinical edge in the scoring zone. But Samoa put us under pressure. There are things we can do a lot better. But much improved from the first game. Still lots to do.

We had a game against South Africa in Argentina and we didn’t do what we needed to do. We had a game in Marseille and we had them in numbers. We want them to know how much we love them. It’s great they’re here and I know they’ll be here next week for Chile. We love our supporters. They’re awesome.
