First-half flurry sets up Pumas' win over Tonga

Julian Montoya scored a hat-trick in the first 26 minutes as the Pumas got their World Cup campaign back on track with a 28-12 victory over Tonga on Saturday that snapped a 10-match losing streak.

Match Commentary

81'		The Pumas get the win but they won't be happy with that second-half performance, particularly with England up next weekend. Fair play to Tonga though who fought back well and scored the only try of the second half; that was a performance the people of Tonga back home can be proud of.
81'		28-12 End of second half
80'		Nope, a lineout steal from the Pumas finishes it!
