    I've got really into this whole Argentina-supporting thing. I've always had them as a second/third team, (Depending on how I felt about Scotland at the time) but lately I've found myself shouting "VAMOS PUMAS!" at random intervals when alone and spent a day wondering around Cardiff looking (With no success) for a Pumas shirt. I'm quite excited about this. And also quite worried about myself.

    I dont know any of these guys, I hope they can keep up the good name of the Pumas in world Rugby. Wins over all three tri-nations teams would be seen as an overdue initiation. Go Pumas!!

    No way they're winning three games. Getting two wins would be a major success already. Getting a single win would be a success too, but the overall evaluation would depend on how bad the losses are.

    He retired from (professional) club rugby at the end of last season, and he was supposed to be "available" for the TRC, but only in case they needed him desperately. They called him up anyway.
