[QUOTE="The80sDogCancer, post: 756516, member: 72953"] Sorry mate my stupid phone clicked send before I could actually finish my comment. This is what it was suppose to say.... [size=1] [/size] I think that Argentina are sometimes unfairly underrated because of their 'poor' results in the Rugby Championship, but are the pumas results that bad? How would one of the more rated teams from the NH compare to the pumas? (NOTE: Before someone comments I know that the stats I am using are not 100% 'like for like' but they as close as possible and can still be used to compare fairly) I have always wondered how teams like wales or Ireland would go if they competed in the RC. Before searching for this comment I thought that both those teams would fair similar to Argentina. So to find out I am going to use the past two years of welsh and Irish results against RC teams (2013 and 2014 AIs and summer rugby tours) and compare them to argentinas last two years in RC (2015 and 2014). I If Argentina are over rated the stats should show a noticeable difference in win/loss between the home nations And Argentina. [color=blue]ARGENTINA 2015: Loss to NZ away Loss to AU home Win to SA away. Loss to SA home = 1 win away 2014: Loss to IRE home Loss to IRE home Loss to SA away Loss to SA home Loss to NZ away. Loss to AU away Loss to NZ home Won to AU home = 1 Win home[/color] [color=red]WALES 2014: Loss to SA away. Loss to SA away. Loss to AU home Loss to NZ home. Win to SA home = 1 win home. 2013: Loss to SA home Won to ARG home Lost to AU home. = 1 home win (to ARG)[/color] [color=green]IRELAND 2014: Won to ARG away Won to ARG away Won to AUS home Won to SA home Win to SA home =2 wins away 2 wins home 2013: Loss to AU home Loss to NZ home =0 wins[/color] So looking at those stats it would be fair to assume that both wales and Ireland would expect to see similar results to Argentina in the RC. Only Ireland's 2014 AI home results against the SH are distinguishable from the others. So from that I would say that no Argentina are not overrated [/QUOTE]
