Yes it's true, it's a good generation of players especially in the backs side; but this initial advantage it will be lost when the others players turn into pro in their own countries, and the argies stay in amateurism. That's it's the big conflict in argentinian rugby.Im after watching highlights of Argentina's game with Scotland? Do they know how to play running rugby or what. Practically all their trys were scored from at least 30 metres out. Seriously entertaining stuff, and they hammered a Scotland team that managed to beat Ireland. Last year they managed to beat Australia and France in the pool stages. If this is they group of young players coming up, the future of Argentinian rugby looks bright
Ugh! Closer than I would've thought! A win in the bag, and we qualified for the semi's! Yay!
Also that punching incident, wtf?? Our guy didn't punch, and the English player missed!! Neither player should've gotten a yellow card! And am I the only guy that thought the ref was a Lyndon Bray lookalike?
From the limited amount ive seen of the Argentina under 20's, they quite a few look good enough to be pros. Pity Argentina doesnt have a team in the top 15, would be great for their team development.Yes it's true, it's a good generation of players especially in the backs side; but this initial advantage it will be lost when the others players turn into pro in their own countries, and the argies stay in amateurism.

Leavy playing really well. Can't believe he has another year.
How's Tom Daly looking, we could really use a big lump at 12 a la Davies, Roberts, Tuilagi, etc for the future.
Wales beat junior jocks 26-21. Good result, considering it was thoroughly a second-choice team. We face undefeated Argentina next.

A lot of will being shown by both teams, but they'd do better calming down a bit imo.
