Argentina has come from behind twice to beat Wales 29-17 in Marseille and reach its third Rugby World Cup semifinal. The underdog Pumas were 10-0 down in the first half then 17-12 behind going into the last quarter. They regained the lead thanks to a freshened pack which overpowered Wales for replacement prop Joel Sclavi to barge over for their first try in the 68th minute. Three minutes later, new flyhalf Nicolas Sanchez intercepted Wales’ Sam Costelow and scooted 50 meters to secure victory for the Pumas. Their first semifinal since 2015 next Friday in Paris will be against Ireland or New Zealand, which meet later Saturday.
