Wales v Argentina rugby betting will take on a different complexion from the home side’s triumph over England last week. Wales desperately hung on in the match, but fought back to punish England for their lack of clinical finishing at the Millennium Stadium. Now Wales will welcome Argentina, who will likely give them a more bruising affair up front in the loose. Wales will be without captain Ryan Jones for this match, which is the final match for the Welsh before the 2011 Rugby World Cup. So back into the side comes Martyn Williams for his 99th cap, and he knows that he needs big performance, one of the biggest of his career to be able to fight his way onto the plane to head to New Zealand for the World Cup. Wales will be extremely pleased with themselves for the way they beat England. It was a backs to the wall affair, but their defensive line stood up to the test, time and time again. England just could not find a way through for all of the possession that they enjoyed. Wales will want to head to the World Cup in confidence, and so this is an important game for them. There are still holes in the Welsh game, there is not the control and power up front, and the backs seem a little unsure of themselves, and coach Warren Gatland unsure of who should fit in where to the side. Wales do get back Stephen Jones, who will likely start from the bench, and they need his presence at the World Cup. This is the state of the Wales side at the moment, there is enough equal talent to come in and fill positions, but picking out the quality from that is a little difficult to do. Wales are a solid side, prone to getting bullied off the ball, but are still pretty adventurous with their running in the backs. However, a flaw is that their running and handling ability in the backs is something which could get them in trouble as it is not the most efficient at times. But this is a chance for them to carry momentum forward and they will be chomping at the bit to get into Argentina. The Pumas are sending an experienced side out to face Wales, led by Felipe Contepomi. Argentina of course finished third at the last Rugby World Cup and have made themselves an ever growing presence in world rugby. They play a tough game, but this is the first time they will have gotten together in the national set up since November when they hit UK shores. On that tour they lost to Ireland and France and beat Italy. England and Scotland fans will be taking an interesting look at this one, as Argentina are in their 2011 Rugby World Cup group. Still, all said and done, Argentina will bring a tough game, but it may be a bit much to expect them to win their first match back in action. So will go for a Wales win in your Wales v Argentina rugby betting.
