[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 794471, member: 73954"] I agree with every single thing you said, particularly about the games they let slip away. What are local rugby people saying or are they just happy to be part of the Super Rugby party? Are they saying all the things that you have said? Have the management tried to explain themselves in any way? We don't hear much in the English speaking media and such is the insular nature of the SANZAR countries, particularly NZ, aren't likely to any time soon. I like the transition to an open style but not at the complete expense of everything we associate with Argentinian rugby. I think the reason they make so many errors is because (a) they tried to change their identity overnight and (b) that change means that they are forcing what they believe to be the Super Rugby style and are trying things that the highly skilful, yet pragmatic, New Zealand teams would never try. I don't think the Jags should be left off the hook because they are a new team. This is not the Kings or the Sunwolves we are talking about. This is a well-organised, well-funded, well-supported, highly skilful team who are making an absolute mess of things and I would like to think that the Argentinian rugby people and media are pushing the management for answers. If Perez and Contepomi were in charge of Boca, would they still have their jobs? [/QUOTE]
