But Kevin Davies will be cheering on his son, Gareth Davies , on Saturday .
One of Wales' star players, he set a new scrum-half record of eight tries at World Cups when he scored against Australia.

" There'll definitely be no impartiality on Saturday - I'll definitely be for Wales, [he will] definitely be for Argentina, " said Lisa.
Rivas accepted Wales were the favourites.
" They are building a really good spirit in The Group which could help in The Next matches, " He Said .
He believed Argentina had not lived up to potential.
" They haven't played like we were expecting, " said Rivas, referring to their opening defeat to England.
He added: " Now they have nothing to lose, they've passed The First stage, and I hope they make a good match. "

" As a school we're very proud of what those two lads have achieved on the rugby pitch, " He Said .
Biggar, He Said , was a " massive talent" from a young age, but Williams' gifts were not immediately evident.
" He's a real example of someone with a real determination to succeed, " said Dean.

" They can strike as much as they want, but we'll find a way. "
