Captain's Run of the Pumas

Contepomi and Jean going to get their wheelchairs all tangled up!

You say that Fernandez can't play at 13 but at the same time you want to Agulla plays in a different position (he's wing). Then? Of course, Fernandez can play at 13, Agulla also can play in the center, in fact he did in some games of Bath.

I'm not aware of Fernandez ever playing 13 (perhaps he did?) however, if you're going to pick Fernandez there you may as well pick Bosch, they're equally limited in attack. Agulla is an outside back and while he is not an outside centre by trade he has, as you've stated, played there. I think Agulla would bring more to the attack than Bosch. Heck you could even move Camacho in one and let Agulla play on the wing.

That's a big mistake, the Pumas are at a disadvantage they face top rivals, which is why they must first defend and then attack. If they don't have a good defense, they can't be competitive, based on that strategy.

If they put a lot of players who are good attacking but poor defending, they will be in real trouble because Boks playing at home are a very tough opponent and they will attack from the start. Argentina has to bear the South African attack then try to attack.

I especially excite about this one matchup ketchup.
I want seeing the scrumming of this two team sides, very intrigue-ful. I eager vinegar.

Also, the backing players (fall backing, wing people, central players...) I want also to see, because I not convinced how great they will make play this tournament. This good potential both sidings but who knows if make good fruity plays or everything the forward mans do..but both sidings is strong-ful.

Match is about to start, can't wait

Who is the girl who sings the national anthem of South Africa? She's very cute

 

[Peat]

Argies need to get their discipline in order, South Africa probably needs a bit more protection around the ruck.

 

[big ginger 8]

These vuvuzela's need to stop right now!

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

These vuvuzela's need to stop right now!

I agree, which stupid prat decided that that constant drone was pleasant? It's horrible.

 

[Jaguares]

These vuvuzela's need to stop right now!

I hate ****ing vuvuzelas!

 

[j'nuh]

I hate when teams go to the corner when they've got an easy penalty. Very arrogant imo.

But that was poor from Argentina.

We're indeed playing bad, I really expect a higher level of game for this match.

I hope things change in the second half, at least I am happy if we improve in scrum, lines and our game overall, despite how the score ends.

 

[Jaguares]

I never saw a penalty try too ridiculous

Now Argentina don't have their best forwards last year: Roncero, Albacete and Fernandez Lobbe. They are very difficult to replace lost to a team with limited

 

[big ginger 8]

The intercept king strikes again!

 

[Peat]

Argentina just got done bummed and there's still 20 minutes to go.

 

[RWC2011Fan]

Damn...how many of those points came when Argentina had 14 men?

 

[Jaguares]

Argentina don't have their best forwards on the field, against a pack of forwards so hard like South Africa, is a very difficult situation for them.

 

[RWC2011Fan]

52-6 now.
