Argentina blitzed Tonga in the first half en route to a bonus-point 28-12 victory Saturday afternoon at Hanazono Rugby Stadium.
The Argies took advantage of Tongan errors to race out to a 28-point lead before the half-hour mark. Tonga showed resilience to get themselves back into the game but it was too little too late.
This Saturday Argentina is set to take on England in a massive Pool C clash that could well decide how the group shakes out.
