[QUOTE="Aspry, post: 589578, member: 70242"] Only Boks and AB's remains unbeatable for us. As for your questions: Rugby isn't a popular sport in Argentina even today and obviously it wasn't a popular sport before 2007, Although I've to recognize after 2007 RWC the sport popularity begun to grow. However is not so popular yet, you can see this for example in the recent match against South Africa in Mendoza, the stadium was half empty and I am sure that it would be full if it was a second division football match. Also, I am sure if you go on the streets and ask some random people about some Rugby rule just a few could answer your question appropriately. I am sure there was a bunch of professional players on those squads but they were also a huge amount of amateurs, I am not really sure since I was little in that time and I didn't discover Rugby untill 2006-2007. I am not sure about when we become Tier 1 nation, I guess someone else with more knowledge about Rugby can answer that. I don't believe it was the pool of death, sure it was a tough group but not so different to others. Maybe it was the french media, idk. [/QUOTE]
