Argentina winger Ignacio Corleto has lit the fuse ahead of Sunday's World Cup semi-final by labelling South Africa arrogant.

South African centre Jaque Fourie last week insisted quarter-final opponents Fiji deserved no respect because they had never beaten the Springboks.

"Their weakness could be their arrogance," said Corleto. "We have never beaten them . . . but in this World Cup all the stats have changed. There's always a first time and hopefully Sunday will be ours. We are going into it to win . . . I don't feel the same as Scotland when they said they were satisfied with reaching the quarter-finals and anything that came afterwards was a bonus. Our goal is not complete."

South Africa prop CJ van der Linde will be fit for Sunday after missing the quarter-final victory over Fiji with a knee problem. Flanker Juan Smith did not train yesterday because of an arm injury.
