[QUOTE="The Jones Boy, post: 815895, member: 70721"] I see Kieran Read is taking the Pumas very seriously and referring to them as the 2nd best team in the Southern Hemisphere. That is exactly the correct approach. Gone are the days of taking the Pumas lightly, these guys have beaten South Africa twice in the last 12 months, home and away. They have pushed the All Blacks hard in Argentina on a regular basis and they have been a handful for the Wallabies. I commend our Captain and the All Black management for sending this message to the team. The Pumas are a dangerous outfit and they deserve the respect of an international top tier team. Just look at their RWC pedigree since 2007. Very impressive. The quality of rugby they have exhibited against the Boks in their last two outings has been a world apart from the Argentina of say 15 to 20 years ago. Their strength in the set piece alone warrants close scrutiny. Their players are sought by overseas clubs. I hope the Argentina rugby union keeps pouring money into their game because they are the 'find' of the last decade. Many people thought they wouldn't make the grade in the RC and pointed at Italy in the 6 Nations as a likely outcome but the Pumas have risen to the challenge and woe betide any country that takes them lightly.
