With this win, Korea manage to stay alive in the competition and will look to keep the momentum going while Argentina will need to re-think their strategies and regroup to put up a far more improved performance in their next outing.

Republic of Korea win 72-16 over Argentina!

A commanding show put up by the Jang Kun Lee-led side, who made the most of Argentina's hasty tackles to amass points in heaps led by the talented Gyung Tae Kim, who finished with 11 raid points.

The defence unit too had a good day in the office as Young Chang Ko and Jae Pil managed to stop the Argentinian raiders in their tracks and pile more misery on the South Americans.

Franco Castro picks up a bonus point! Fourth raid point for him.

SUPER RAID from Dong Gyu Kim!!

Rafael Acevedo goes in with an ankle hold from the right corner and then Lopez looks to contribute but Kim powers through as he also collects another touch point on the right cover defender who looks to pull the Korean's hand back into their own half.

Franco Castro gets a hefty hand touch on Gyung Tae Kim as he runs away into his own half!

Time-out called.

Less than three minutes to go and Korea lead 69-14.

Tae Kim continues to cause nightmares for the Argentina defence, picks up another point as a hapless Argentina coach has his hands on his heads. Well, nothing's worked to his strategy so far. If there was one!

The Korean defence now pounces on the raider as he has been thrown off the court! Seems to have taken a slight knock on his knee as he limps off to the benches.

Dong Gyu Kim makes optimum use of a hasty advance tackle from Rafael Acevedo as he tumbles away into the half to pick another point.

Villamayor picks up a bonus point!

SIXTH ALL-OUT inflicted on Argentina!

Chan Sik Park comes in to raid, the defender waits to attack but has to concede and Korea now enjoy a 55-point advantage!

Tae Kim turns as he gets a touch on the right corner, Argentina now have the lone man on the mat.

Gramajo succumbs to the ankle hold of Jae Pil on the left corner and now Argentina down to just two men.

Gyung Tae Kim gets another running hand touch as he picks up his first SUPER 10 of the competition!

Argentina pick up another bonus point!

Back live now!

Time-out has been called for.

Korea certainly running away with the game here as they enjoy a 60-12 lead with little over eight minutes to go.

Bonus point for Argentina! They've done well to pick six points in the second half but will need a lot more to reduce the massive deficit.

Acevedo on this occasion cannot covert his block into a fruitful result as the raider barrel rolls away from his hold to pick a point.

DO OR DIE raid for Villamayor and he completely runs out of time! The Korean defense keeps their attacking instincts in check, give nothing away to the raider and a final ditch attempt sees the raider lose out on time and has to step away.

Yet again, Acevedo strikes as he puts in a strong tackle with Nahuel Lopez's help and keeps the raider at bay.

Fantastic effort from Acevedo as he goes in with a solo tackle on Tae Kim, does very well to block the raider's path and the rest of the defence cleans up.

Argentina finally reach a double-digit score!

DO OR DIE raid for Argentina! Korea continue to run away with the match.

The raider goes in too deep into the right corner, Jae Pil shoves the raider off the court with a strong dash.

Quick toe touch from Tae Kim as he picks yet another point. This is a very poor display from Argentina, they will certainly need to step up their game.
