[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 900289, member: 55747"] This game will speak volumes in terms of how much the team has evolved, at least for me. I am really curious about how this will go. This season has had some very deep lows, but some remarkable highs. During seasons 1 & 2 we lost every single 50/50 game. Every single one (not counting games against Lions in BsAs as both times they presented a second team). This has changed this season and i couldn't be happier. The only issue i have is the noise around our last victory. If you look at Argentine media it's as if we played the perfect game against the most brutal opposition ever imagined. The idea of winning and having an ounce of criticism is non existent. Again, i am very happy about last week game's result, but the result depended clearly on 3 things that, at least no one in Argentina talked about: 1) Genia out. 2) Last minute call from the Rebels was pretty stupid. Not because they went for a try, but because they should have gone for line (our line out is bad, our maul defense is poor AND the kick would have gotten them closer to the in goal). 3) as much as i like and applaud the way Moyano handled that situation, i am pretty confident he's lose the ball 99 times out of a 100 if he tried that again. Broad strokes: I am happy about discipline, scrums (started off pretty bad now it is ok) and increasing confidence in general. I am not happy about line outs, maul defense close to the ingoal and defense in general, specially when playing against teams that open the ball wide fast. Undecided: attack. Sometimes we are pretty good (vs tahs), sometimes we are clueless (vs Reds). For me this game will show whether the games against Lions and Rebels were outliers or a change in trend. Can't wait.
