[QUOTE="Superalexmarket, post: 587457, member: 63203"] Open Letter to the President of the UAR Miguel Castillo, and especially the Technical Staff of the Pumas: Santigo Phelan, Fabian Turnes and Mauricio Reggiardo. I write these words sunk in great pain and concern for the present and future of the Argentine Rugby. What we saw this Saturday against South Africa is just the conclusion of a series of mistakes and bad decisions made by the leaders and technical staff of the Pumas in the last five years. How cuold be posible that we intented to play against 3 world superpowers of rugby as equals? It's crazy to think that the Pumas can achieve the sync and manual skills similar to the 3 teams superprofesionales. Especially when we dont have a pro league in our country (I know it's ridiculous) The Pumas must return to their roots, they are not able (yet) to create game, but they know how to destroy the opponent's game, his defensive play was what made them globally competitive, but unfortunately this has been shelved. I know that Graham Henry at his best good will advise some of this change in the type of game the Argentine team. But what Henry unknown, is the idionsyncrasy, the feeling of the Argentine players.They always feel more comfortable defending and tackling is what we do and it worked for us. Please Phelan, step aside and leave the staff, and Agustin Pichot is also responsible for this situation, because he chose Phelan to lead this process. It is also true that we do not have the quality of players from 6 years ago. (That was the golden generation of Argentine rugby) But I also think we can do a better performance than these embarrassing past games. Finally thanks to everyone who supports Argentine rugby even in its worst moments, for example: Yoe, Litlle Guy, Psychic, and Conrad too. Sorry for my bad english, goodbye. [/QUOTE]
