Argentina head coach Michael Cheika played down his halftime team talk after his Pumas team twice came roaring back to stun Wales in the Rugby World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday.
Wales led 10-0 after the first quarter and were 17-12 ahead with 12 minutes to play but Argentina finished strongly with two tries to win 29-17 and earn a semi-final next week against either Ireland or New Zealand.
“The first half we made two or three mistakes that cost us a lot, one was the try,” said the Australian, who took his homeland to the World Cup final in 2015.“It took us two or three times to reorganise. “When you get positive momentum you can put quick points on the board and we were always in the game.”
