[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 815372, member: 74121"] I think a fit Pumas side could have put in a stronger performance in NZ than Oz did and could even have challenged what is a NZ side (in Argentina) with a few players whose club form hasn't been great (e.g. Daggs & Savea) . But the injuries the Pumas picked up make an already difficult task to be competitive near impossible. I don't think it'll be a massacre though and if Sanchez can play I can see Argentina picking up a couple of tries, but losing by 18-21 points. I continue to be super impressed by Hourcade. His CV is very unconventional and makes it difficult to gauge his ability, but I rate him as an absolutely top coach in the international scene (I'd rank him only behind Hansen, Jones & Schmidt). It's incredible how much more resilient the Pumas look compared to the Jaguares when the only things that have changed are the strips and the coach. The fact they are so damn entertaining to watch is just the cherry on the top. Whatever happens, the match just won't be the same without someone posting to berate Lavinini! Hopefully Moroni plays so we can see some Argentine fan abuse of their own players! :D [/QUOTE]
