[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 871718, member: 73954"] If you say a team "deserves respect" the chances are you do not believe that they do. Would you say it about England? Any talk of blooding new players is indication that NZ have this in the bag (which they do). In the short history of the Rugby Championship, NZ have never been so strong, and Arg so inequipped to limit the damage which is going to be inflicted on them. On a side note, and nothing to do with your own comment, I had to laugh at one NZ websites preview for the game this week. Laden with the usual cliches about the Pumas being strong up front and a formidable scrummaging side who would cause NZ problems in this area, and nowhere else. I thought to myself if the article reporter had watched a single Jags/Pumas match in the last two years - if he had he would know Arg now pose no threat whatsoever at scrum time and if they are to score a try, it will likely come from broken play.
