Argentina scored nine tries in a 62-3 rout of Spain in a Rugby World Cup warm-up on Saturday.

Fullback Juan Cruz Mallia, prop Joel Sclavi, winger Santiago Carreras and scrumhalf Tomas Cubelli all scored first-half tries as the Pumas stretched to a 31-3 lead at the interval.

Flanker Marcos Kremer, centre Jeronimo De la Fuente and a double from No 8 Facundo Isa completed the romp.

The victory will be a huge confidence-booster ahead of the Pumas' World Cup opener against struggling England in Marseille on 9 September.

Earlier on Saturday, England slumped to their first ever defeat to Fiji, losing 30-22 to the Pacific islanders at Twickenham.
