Pablo Matera tells Sports Mole that he is "happy" to have seen Argentina pick up their first win at the 2015 World Cup in front of a strong following.

Pablo Matera has declared himself "happy" with Argentina's 54-9 victory over Georgia at the Rugby World Cup.

Los Pumas picked up their first win at this year's tournament thanks to a storming second-half display in Gloucester.

Argentina crossed over six times following the restart to finally mark their arrival at the competition in front of a packed Kingsholm Stadium.

Matera was full of praise for the support his side received, telling Sports Mole: "We had a lot of fans here and also at Wembley last time.

"I am really grateful to the people of Argentina for coming out here to support us - it is a big help for the team. I hope that we continue to have lots of support for the remainder of our games."

Asked about the task Argentina faced on the back of a tight first half, in which just two points separated the teams, the flanker added: "They are a really physical side.

"We knew it was going to be difficult and we had to work hard to get there. They have some big players, so I am happy with the job we done."

Argentina take on Tonga at the Leicester City Stadium in their next outing in nine days' time.
