On the back of no rugby they have stood up and have done their country proud

Don’t get me wrong, the Argies did all the work and deserve all the plaudits. Just glad we were able to give them the opportunity to shine.
From dominating the Vodacom Cup and Currie Cup First division with the Pampas, to the Jaguares’ rise through the ranks of Super rugby to finalists, to their inclusion in The Rugby Championship where they have now claimed a scalp from each of the other 3 nations...all I can say is a massive congratulations to Argentina and all they have achieved.
This wasn’t a fluke, it was long overdue.
Hope to see them play in our CC from next year.Carfer wrote: Sat Nov 14, 2020 8:53 amThank you very much for everything, cousins!Blake wrote: Sat Nov 14, 2020 8:43 am Their rise has been a joy to watch; and I’m so happy that SARU was able to play some small role in it.

Yep, they were far better in all departments.mrbrownstone wrote: Sat Nov 14, 2020 9:36 am For as bad as the All Blacks were, Argentina were excellent. Take nothing away.

Did you not watch the RWC semi finals?assfly wrote: Sat Nov 14, 2020 9:48 am Great to watch, well done Argies and enjoy the celebrations. I thought Matero's speech at the end was very touching.
Can't remember the last time I saw an ABs team bullied like that. The last 20 minutes was defence porn.

Typical of the other mob who are strutting around beating their chests and trolling the ABs being beaten when their Union chickened out and would come to play. The Argies are clearly honest manly men who deliver the goods. The other mob are just a bunch of shouty tag alongs who scatter when deeds over words are called for.
The no loss ever record vs Arg is gone forever, it hurts like hell and you're struggling to come to terms with it. It's ok to lash out. We understand.Shanky’s mate wrote: Mon Nov 16, 2020 3:55 am I’m working night shifts and had to wait to watch a recording.. massive effort right from the start from los Pumas and a serious quality game from them.
Their fans all have good reason to feel proud and the passion in the stands matched the ferocity the players were clearly feeling. Great to see.

If I'm not mistaken, South Africa took rugby to Argentina. I think they are quite similar to us in style, in your face the whole time, trying to dominate physically. If they can control that aggression, they have a great chance to be strong contender in World Rugby.OomStruisbaai wrote: Sun Nov 15, 2020 6:37 pm The S15 helped Argentina rugby a lot. They have to sacrifice a lot being away from home. Making the final last year gave them the confidence needed. Anyways that's not the point, the importance is the future. Australia and New Zealand closed that door. Hopefully South Africa will accommodate them like in the past.
Both countries share braaiing.
