[QUOTE="Aspry, post: 604708, member: 70242"] Don't know why you are so surprised, I am sure many people knew this was coming and to tell the truth it could go way much worse for us. 31-12 isn't a bad result for us considering our current form. Of course it could go better without that last try... but anyways, remember we're with a new coach who only got two weeks to prepare the team with many injured players. I know it's not fair to complain about injured player when England have also a couple of them(frankly every team has injured players), but the ones from Argentina who are injured are more significant: Lobbe and Figallo are our two best players right now and Camacho is probably our best wing, at least when it comes to defense and leadership. We are going through a difficult time indeed, many institucional and political issues are happening in the UAR nowadays and also we have internal problems in the squad between players. You may not know about what is going on, but I can assure you that all those conflicts are affecting our current game. About our status in the international rugby... I don't really believe that thing. I don't care if people say we're not longer tier one nation. I don't give it so much importance, it's all subjective...many people will think differently. England played good rugby at some stages, but I don't think they can beat NZ or SA right now. They are a few players who clearly don't have what it takes to perform at international level. They have a lot to improve yet if they want to win the RWC in 2015. That's my honest opinion, I hope you guys don't get mad at me. [/QUOTE]
