[QUOTE="Horacito, post: 755330, member: 71745"] The problem right now is that our gameplan is incomplete. If you have good backs and good forwards but none of them have a clear predominance over the other one or their tasks don't complement each other, you have the problem pumas are facing now: you depend on the flashes from Cordero, Imhoff and Tuculet, and the forwards never seem to hold any protagonism. Have you seen how many of those phases with pick and roll and rucks and forward game argentina has lost in just a year? That tells you the quality of a coach Hourcade is, to be able to convince people with such a great tradition in forward protagonism to throw it away and play like they are trying to do it. I do think we have one of the best backrows there are in this tournament. Matera-Lobbe-Legui is superior to almost everyone there is left. Only NZ are higher than us, maybe Australia could tier us, South Africa as well, but of those three of ours two are breakdown specialists and Creevy is the best there is in this area in the whole world along with Richie. That should take us far in this tournament. However, with this misdirection between forwards/ backs there are some moments when we get stuck and the old pick and roll game cannot asume that weigt, we need an exit for those moments. People is talking about our running game, but I think set pieces are going to be what they remember the most about this pumas world cup, because is the answer Hourcarde has found for the structural problems of argentina¡s rugby.
