Yep it's not rocket science nl, but lovely when it comes together. Winger stays out, then it's draw your man and pop the pass.
Bugger that's the end of my NZ 1-12 |

It's a relief that Argentina have put in some performances. They've got Australia to play at home still, which is a genuine chance of a victory, and they've stood up well here and against SA. Would have been a bad thing all round if they had been smashed.

agreed rm but we knew the pumas were no mugs. playing this sort of rugby over a sustained period with the travel etc will be a new and difficult experience in the short term but it is bound to pay big dividends for Arg rugby in years to come

Yes, certainly hope so. Just a shame that their 2007 side didn't have this chance.
Some massive hits going in, but they still need more confidence going wide. |

You look at Argentina and you look at Austrlia... goes to show that first and foremost you need a pack to be competitive in this game. Ironically though, I think they might find Aus next weekend their toughest task. Seven day turnaround, two weeks on the road and they don't like playing fast sides. Aus know that they can't win in an arm wrestle.

the increased exposure from this tournament should help increse the player pool in coming years and argentina certainly have the population numbers on their side although they are of course all soccer daft

I think Argentina might struggle next week as well. Really nasty travel schedule, although right now they look the better side.

Hopefully SA will have softened the convicts up nicely by then. Expect a brutal showing next up.

Aus need to improve by about 10 points to justify favouritsm in the next. Have looked a shocking side so far this tournie.
