[QUOTE="barbu677, post: 133021"] Crappy roster issues notwithstanding... hew :) , this is a good game. Just finished my first World Cup as Argentina on Pro. Got beaten by France 5-19 (first game of Rugby 08 I played), smoked Georgia for 42, beat Namibia 70-24 (is it just me, or is their offense waaay overrated) and then a great, great game against Ireland I had to win. Made the mistake of switching Contepomi (Felipe, I think - the one who can play FH and CT) from FH to CT and getting Todeschini in at FH, thinking this will get me more options. Wroooong choice (the 'oooo' is from 'sloooow'). After 9 minutes I led 14-0. After twenty minutes it was 21-14 ireland. A dumb penalty (lineout throw not straight) right before halftime against me. 24-14 for Eire. 45th minute: 27-14 Ireland (yet another penalty). Todeschini and Contepomi changed places; Todeschini out, replaced by Gaitan, Contepomi at FH for speeeeeeeeeeed. 60th minute: Pichot after a ruck from 20 yards, a great run that took the Irish by surprise: 27-21. At this point the Irish started losing their head (hey, it was awfully realistic, I mean a real team would have in these circumstances). 2 penalties, no sin bins, but: 27-27 :bana: . And then... kick-off by O'Gara on the opposite side... O'Driscoll blasting away... :ranting: 34-27 for Ireland. A nasty penalty against me (my players lost their head): 37-27 for Eire. I remember watching my players as O'Gara was kicking the penalty, hands on their hips. That was the game right there. 5 minutes of desolate running for a consolation try :unsure: . Argentina out of the World Cup... What a great rush of adrenaline this game was (as, I guess, you can tell). [/QUOTE]
