[QUOTE="Every Time Ref, post: 763225, member: 71826"] No one should go overboard on just one result ... but this is NOT just about one result! To a lot of people north of the equator, until this WC Argentina were still a big pack with Hernandez and no other skilful backs, a better version of Italy who couldn't mix with the big boys. But they were never underdogs against Ireland, they were always at the very least level pegging; I personally am slightly annoyed with myself for buying into the Irish talk of "strength in depth" rather than backing my original instinct to have them as clear favourites. I said a long time ago, when there was talk about whether Arg would join the 3N or the 6N, that the best thing for them would be to play in the south but the best thing for us would be to play in Europe. I wish we got to see this team play all of us in the north every year, pushing us to keep up with their back play. Everyone would benefit I think. [/QUOTE]
