at the world cup, "los pumas" were drawn into the so-called pool of death, featuring two other teams ranked in the top six in the irb rankings—ireland and the hosts france. on top of this, they opened the world cup at stade de france against the french, marking the third consecutive world cup in which they played against the host nation in the world cup opener. in possibly one of their finest hours, the pumas took a 17-9 lead into the half, and held on for a surprising 17-12 win. the pumas subsequently beat georgia 33-3 on 11 september at the stade de gerland, lyon. argentina then went on to beat namibia 63-3 in marseille, the biggest winning margin in argentine world cup history. they then went on to secure a 30-15 victory against ireland which ensured that they topped the group. they then defeated scotland 19-13 in the quarter-final at the stade de france. the pumas' improbable run towards the webb ellis trophy ended in a comprehensive 37-13 defeat by the springboks in the semi-final at stade de france. however, the pumas recovered to beat france for the second time in the 2007 rugby world cup, a 34-10 win in the 3rd/4th place playoff. the 3rd place showing for the pumas in the 2007 world cup was argentina's best ever result in rugby world cup history, equal or better to the best showing by irb founding nations wales (who were 3rd in the 1987 rugby world cup), scotland (who were 4th in the 1991 rugby world cup) and ireland (which has never qualified for the rugby world cup semi-finals).
