Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe keen to keep focus ahead of semi-final showdown

Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe has admitted that Argentina will not get carried away after reaching the Rugby World Cup semi-final.

Los Pumas face a crunch meeting with Four Nations rivals Australia at Twickenham next weekend, having produced a fine team display to overcome Ireland 43-20 in Cardiff on Sunday afternoon.

Fernandez Lobbe claims that each member of the squad is now beginning to "dream" that they can reach the final of the showpiece competition, but the Toulon ace is remaining grounded ahead of the huge clash in seven days' time.

"Of course I dream," he told reporters. "Everybody dreams, everyone wants to get to the final, but it has to start with reality and we have to win the semi-final against Australia.

"We have a clear idea of what we want to produce and we all believe in our gameplan. The team is a young one but they all want to play and do their own thing. We all live and die by our game."

Argentina's previous best finish at a World Cup came eight years ago when they won the third-place playoff.
