[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 529764, member: 48703"] What? Cooper was poor against the Pumas, he dropped the ball, threw crap passes and was charged down to conceded a try. To suggest he is "so much better" when he was clearly off form and out of sorts is ridiculous. Hernández can also tackle well unlike Cooper. Wrong. He was never moved to 10 due to kicking duties, he never kicked when Contepomi was in the side. He moved because he himself wanted to play fly half, simple as that. Although he hasn't been as an attacking threat as he could be and has little variation than his up and unders, he has been decent and I don't think Australia and South Africa fly halves have been particularly better than him. And he still did have his moments in attack in the tournament, helping start a try in the Australia match in the Gold Coast. I don't know what you think of as "Rugby Championship FH level", but I think you are severely overrating the play of South Africa's and Australia's fly halves in comparison to Hernández. I don't know what your talking about here. Even though after over 2 years of constant injury he has been lessened to a great player to simply decent player, he is still a special talent and is a good punt kicker with arguably the world's best up and under. There'll be a place for him in the Argentina side when he's fit for sure. [/QUOTE]
