[QUOTE="Aspry, post: 611790, member: 70242"] I am not forgetting any of that, I totally agree with you.. this was an awful season for us, but calling Argentina the worst team of the year is a little bit harsh, having in count that teams like Scotland, Italy, Samoa and Wales (vs SANZAR) wouldn't had performed better if they had the same calendar. The summer test for Argentina has become a joke, at least for me. We're forced to make two different teams, one with the good players for TRC and other with average and young players.. and we don't have such a big pool of players as other nations. England has a wider pool of decent players to choose than us, and for those two test some of the first team players actually made it to the squad. They were England minus the Lions and a couple of injured players. You should understand what I am talking about since Wales suffers from the same, they don't have a wide pool of players. Their start XV is an excellent team, but if one of the starters get injured is hard for them to replace. The lost of Wales vs Japan it's the same case of Argentina, the difference is that we suffer from that every year now. The EOYT of Argentina was more awful than what it should have been due to key important players being injured. I know every team suffers from them, but seriously they were a lot. Let's take the missing players vs Wales, just to give you an example: Camacho, Imhoff (these two guys were the ones who scored in the last year win, remember?) Lobbe (our capitan), Figallo (our best player), JM Hernandez, Creevy, Tiesi. I am also forgetting that we had a new coach who only got two weeks to train this players, so having a bad tour was expected, we're under transition right now.. I even thought we were going to lose vs Italy tbh. [/QUOTE]
