[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 587504, member: 63264"] I don't think so, Argentina has a good future in rugby. Last year reached the semifinals of 2012 IRB Junior World Championship beating teams like: France, Australia and Scotland, they played very well. They have good players projects like: Santiago Cordero, Matias Diaz, Pablo Matera, Facundo Isa, Tomas Lavanini and Patricio Fernandez. The problem is that there is an age difference between the golden generation of third place in RWC 2007 and these new players. Albacete, Fernandez Lobbe, Roncero, Contepomi, Juan Martin Hernandez and others, all of them have 30 or more years. While these new talents are very young still: Santiago Cordero: 19 years Matias Diaz: 20 years Pablo Matera: 20 years Facundo Isa: 19 years Tomas Lavanini: 20 years Patricio Fernandez: 18 years They are the future of Argentine rugby, for example: Facundo Isa signs for Toulon: [URL]http://rugbyworldcup-argentina2023.blogspot.com/2013/07/facundo-isa-set-to-debut-for-toulon.html[/URL] Tomas Lavanini could play Super Rugby for Chiefs: [URL]http://rugbyworldcup-argentina2023.blogspot.com/2013/06/pumitas-secondrower-tomas-lavanini.html[/URL] But the difference in years with the leaders of the teams is great. Felipe Contepomi: 35 years Patricio Albacete: 31 years Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe: 31 years Juan Martin Hernandez: 31 years Marcos Ayerza: 30 years So there is a difference of 10 years between these great generations, in the middle, the Argentine players between 22-29 years simply they don't have the level of these two generations. That's not the fault of Phelan, is a more complex problem, when Argentina lost their best players simply can't replace them because their good players are still very young. Regards [/QUOTE]
