[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 948075, member: 55747"] I dont mind you atacking the jaguares. Not one bit. Please, go all in. What i do care about the incongruence of your argument. In order for your point to be valid, you would need to explain how we beat the Hurricanes in Wellington, while on tour through Oceania. Im not talking about us beating the Kings in port elizabeth or the sunwolves in Tokio back in 2016. This was last month, it was against the team that 1 day ago cornered the crusaders. And we did so at their stadium, 10,000 km away from home. So after 2 consecutive tours and winning 7 out of 8 games (and trust me, you need to watch the loss), when u tell me we should be worried because of the travel, i have no idea what you are talking about. I am worried about facing a top-class team. I am worried about the weather. I am worried about 1/2 players getting injured. I'm worried about tactics. I am petrified about our scrum. I am terrified about those cross kicks cutting through our rush defense. I am not worried about traveling. Not one bit. Dont get me wrong, of course I would talk a final in BsAs, but more because of a) the fans b) the impact it has on other teams. I don't think we play better in Argentina than we do away. I'll repeat it in case it wasn't clear. We are not favourites, far from it, but there's a stretch from saying we are the underdogs to saying the crusaders have won it already. The crowd will be against us. History is against us. The stats will say we shouldn't win. Australia is against us. That's how we like it. [/QUOTE]
