Argentina - World Cup 2015 Discussion Thread

Hernandez outside Sanchez could prove to be the best option for the World Cup, potentially takes a bit of pressure of Sanchez with a second playmaker. Could equally put more pressure on though, if Hernandez has a moment...

I think Argentina have some very good looking back row stocks. Fernández-Lobbe and Leguizamón are obviously class and compliment each other well, I like what I've seen of both Isa and Desio (apart from his hair) as well.

What do Argentinian posters think is their best back row? I'd go for 6. Facundo Isa 7. Fernández-Lobbe 8. Leguizamón I think? Combined with Creevy's over the ball skills that's a seriously quality back row.
 
@ratsapprentice seems i was right about Odogwu not being in the sevens due to training with seniors on the bench V argentina (Granted with 20 others but him and thompstone are the only wingers)

Back home now a great game.

Argentina showed a very dominate scrum and excellent hands to get the ball wide.

Leicester looked very aggressive in attack and the youngsters looked very promising.

Odogwu showed amazing speed for his try honestly Like watching Wade. Really excited about him.
