Well, back in here after a while... done my hand playing so it's kind of difficult to type (note: try not to land from catching a high ball with your middle finger pointing towards the ground). The Pumas have one big elephant in the room: in certain positions they're a few injuries away from a cris...

Someone knows the weather forecast for Sunday afternoon in London ? The rain and play in Europe (where our boys feel at home) can determine a tighter scoreboard, at least relatively :D ACCORDING TO BBC - WEATHER LONDON 16:00 Light Cloud Humidity 63% Visibility Good Pressure (Millibars) 1023 Wind Di...

I think the ABs are going to run up a cricket score vs the Argies and will be just as ruthless against everyone else in our group. Looking forward to it. Your comment reminds me of my fellow countrymen when approaching Football World Cup. They scan the fixture when should them eventually play again...

How nice it is to dream, dream costs nothing ... QF: Victory over Ireland Imhoff collected the nth kick to charge from Sexton, faces to Zebo, almost no space respect to the touchline, but the attempt to tackle of the irish wing is flawed and does Imoff scoring the only try of the match, giving him a...

Great game to watch! :) England surely try to destroy fijian forwards and prevent south islanders deploy an expansive game. If the british are very focused on their game plan, then they should have no problem winning the match, but if left to win by anxiety, will be running a lot of adrenaline in t...

There's a very real chance that Argentina loses to Tonga who in turn loses to Georgia. This would mean the 2nd qualifier spot comes down to points differential. For that reason I wouldn't play an expansive game if I was Argie. If we are guided by the history of the Pacific Cup (Pampas - Tonga A) we...

Good man Carfer, it should be a f**k good match :thumbup: Surely I'm wrong and my approach is too naive, but I want the Pumas deploy an expansive game against the AB and not a game of "heroic defense" and extremely physical. We were never close to beating the All Blacks in the RC (unlike the happen...

Why wouldn't the Pumas play their best guys. The pool is shallow. Pumas play Tonga only 5 days after the ABs match , and as you said our pool of players is rather shallow. Saving some of the most irreplaceable guys (the starting front rows for instance) would be within the coach's choice... Fortuna...

WORLD RANKINGS:

New Zealand = 1
Argentina = 9

It is not my intention to upset Ali, but we invest a great effort "hoping" that European powers wrecking Scotland, and that Japan would fall like a piano for someone to put us on the ninth in the world rankings when in fact we are in eighth.

Returning to the theme of Japanese friends, I always found it confusing the idea of a Japanese team playing in the South African conference (as an idea seems less "chemical" an organic apple). I would have been more logical if the idea was to expand rugby in the southern hemisphere and attract new m...

I'm a little worried about the immediate future of Super Rugby. On the Argentine side we had a couple of encouraging developments but the overall context of competition seems a bit flimsy. Latest news: 1. Greg Peters was officially introduced as General Manager of the UAR 2. The signing of Hernandez...

For me best: Argy anthem - love the tune the way it builds. Never forget the emotion on the players faces for the 2007 WC opening game. I knew were we in for a tough match that day. Vamos!

Maybe the UK should put the Syrians there ? Supply them with some building materials, and let them make their own infrastructure.

I could use the same argument with respect to the two British invasions against the city of Buenos Aires (1806 and 1807) or the Anglo-French blockade from 1945 to 1950 the Rio de la Plata. The Napoleonic wars? If it helps matters, we were actually fighting Spain who were an ally of France back then...

But for the Falklands War you have to blame the Argentinian government, not the British government.

Totally agree!

Would be interesting if Argentina tried it on again. It is not our habit to walk entering wars for fun. The last armed conflict in which intervened Argentina -prior to the war in the South Atlantic 1982- goes back to the Guerra of the Paraguay between 1865 and 1870. There is no way that an Argentin...

If Argentina beats NZ in the pool stage then I am quite sure Ireland would fancy meeting the All Blacks in the quarters rather than the Pumas. Nah. No way.

We beat them twice at the last RWC, and yet they'd rather play us than Argentina. Sorry, but I don't believe that for a second. We've met the AB's twice in History in knock-out rounds in the RWC, and won on both occasions. Lost 2 finals, one by the smallest possible margin. Argentina on the other h...

If Argentina beats NZ in the pool stage then I am quite sure both Ireland and France would fancy meeting the All Blacks in the quarters rather than the Pumas.
