Argentina Emerge

First topic message reminder :

Well, many people have speculated that involvement in the worlds showpiece rugby tournament on an annual basis would propel Argentina from the plucky and emotionaly charged thorn in the world cup aspirations of so many contenders into an international powerhouse, completing a quartet of dominant South Hemisphere teams, with clear water back to the rest of the world.

But who could have suspected it would happen in just one season?

As if the bottom placed and winless Rugby Championship side comfortably dispatching the 6N Grandslam winners at home wasn't a terrifying prospect for those north of the equator, there is also the spectre of the Welsh who are the most attacking minded of the 6N constituents were held tryless for 80 minutes and scoreless in the second 40 minutes.

Pre match talk was of the dangers of the physicality of the welsh back line and the threat they pose up front. The reverse was true as the abbrasive and physical Pumas injured their counterparts and slowly ground their defense into the ground. Argentina dominated the breakdown, winning three times as many turn overs, humbled the Welsh scrum, caused such psychological damage at the lineout that Wales began to throw squint and lost a crucial late lineout chance in the Argentina 22.

Argentina quadrupled the number of offloads made by Wales and this facet was vital in the construction of their two scintilating backline tries.


It would be easy to point to the apparent lack of ambition, execution, patience or commitment of the Welsh team today but in reality Argentina harried their attack, consistently knocked back their big strike runners and swarmed into the breakdown. Wales were put under an immense amount of pressure and smothered out of the game by a relentless Argentina who have upped their game pace 200% since the last RWC.

The Pumas hardly needed to crank up their reknowned trademark driving lineout, and then showed the composure Wales had lacked in their Australian tour to wind the clock down for a famous victory possibly heralding in the new era of the SH IRB rankings full house.

And Wales is?

Read all of my previous posts if you have a question for me. Because you haven't. Now awop will you stop interchanging between your two accounts you crafty bugga.

Leave that sort of thing in the hands of the mods Morgan! I certainly have only ever had one account and any of that kind of action is ably spotted by our techno-savvy mods who can presumably spot the posting IP and MAC address. To get away with it, you'd have to have two separate machines connected on two different internet connections, I don't think anybody would go to those lengths just to wind you up!

Any moderator can verify that my IP is in Spain.

I'd be grateful if a mod would. Again, to my orginal point, what is your issue with anything I've said? I'm interested as it's not often I get to discuss rugby with an argentinian.

Exactly. And I'm in the UK so to pretend to be you I'd have to be spoofing my IP via some kind of proxy service. Goodness me, some conspiracy just to wing up Morgan!

Morg, Argie fan is the genuine article. As are the majority of people you think are duplicate posters.

What, even you and Biltong are genuine and not one and the same? Maybe I am crazy then.

It's just the two of us Morgan. All of the other posters are the same person. In fact, I have to admit now, not even a "person". But rather a computer program. You've been talking to yourself for years now. spooky, isn't it?

Morg, it has been confirmed before, nothing untoward Argiefan is as legitimate as any of us.

Nothing wrong with Argie fan. However AWOP was "stupid pretend foreign can't type AWOP" who was MiteyIronPaw who was GG and who knows how many others as well............oops - Mods Mods

Tattered, let's not start this again. I heard people were getting banned for making such nonsense allegations.

It's ok though, if banned they'll just return pretending to not speak...

PLEASE DON'T BAN ME, PLEASE DON'T BAN ME!!!

It was a joke I swear

AWOP, I forgot "CEASE AND DESIST". People might have missed that one as it was short lived
Looking forward to our game against you though mate - at least I'll see some good attacking rugby on show from the ABs
