CENTRE Hernan Senillosa, a late inclusion in Argentina's squad, ran in two late tries to help the Pumas beat a Belgium XV 36-8 in their final World Cup warm-up on Saturday.
Argentina, beaten 27-20 by Wales in Cardiff a week earlier, scored six tries to one, with centre Felipe Contepomi converting the first three.
The Pumas were only 14-5 up at half-time and 14-8 after 50 minutes.
Belgium, reinforced by six Frenchmen, including former international halfbacks Yann Delaigue and Aubin Hueber, scored a try and a penalty through fullback Alan Williams.
Argentine wing Jose Nunez Piossek notched the first try inside 10 minutes, and Martin Schusterman added the second before Williams went over just before half-time.
Following Williams's penalty nine minutes into the second half, Pumas winger Horacio Agulla and centre Manuel Contepomi grabbed further tries before Senillosa's late brace.
Senillosa was added to the squad after centre Martin Gaitan's heart scare in Cardiff.
The World Cup kicks off when the hosts meet Argentina in Paris on September 7.

Id suggest the score would of been greater if the first choice Pumas took to the paddock.
