Argentina XV were stunned last week by a superb Uruguay performance. However, I fancy them to bounce back against Chile with a win by more than three points.

Chile Form

Chile have lost their two warm-up matches by very narrow margins thus far.

The South Americans sent down 26-25 to Uruguay and 28-26 to Namibia in their last match. Chile will feel like they should have won both fixtures, but the experience would have done them good.

Chile Injuries & Team News

It is unclear what Chile side will feature here. They will not want to risk too many injuries to key players.

Argentina XV Form

Argentina XV have been playing minnow nations to prepare them for the World Cup. However, being Argentina’s B side technically, they are difficult to predict and much depends on the team they select.

Argentina XV beat Namibia but lost quite heavily last week to Uruguay, a match they were expected to win. Argentina beat Namibia by a score but thrashed Chile 40-13 less than three weeks ago.
