[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 948082, member: 70552"] It’s your tone Cruz which shows you are being defensive, not that you disagree with me which I have no problem with, and the fact you don’t like me criticizing that Jaguares are at a major disadvantage going into next week’s final. Well no time like the present to criticise an uneven contest. Just looking at the time the second semi finished yesterday, which would be what around 9pmish Argentina time. Unless the players went straight to the airport and got on a flight, I am thinking they probably flying out first thing Sunday morning. Then a 17 hour plus flight via Auckland and they get to Christchurch Tuesday evening around 6pm NZ time. So already 3 days have been knocked off for just getting to Christchurch. Then all the Jet lag to overcome the 15 hours time difference and 2-3 days to get used to differing conditions. Don’t know about anyone else who has tried to overcome a 12 plus hour jet lag let alone 15 hours and these being elite athletes playing in a big rugby final and over coming a home team who have been preparing and tucked up in bed whilst the other team have been flying through two time zones, but I would say it’s a bit unfair on the travelling side no matter who they are. But hey the proof will be in the pudding and if Jaguares somehow overcome the travel and all that it entails it will be one of the greatest wins in rugby. [/QUOTE]
