[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 931884, member: 55747"] My take on him (OMV): Middle of the table of the table with SF and Racing. [I]Uneventful [/I]is probably the best way to describe his stay in France. As a player he was never a leader, let alone an inspiration. He was a very good kicker thou. You could compare him to ROG. Terrible, appaling defender too. Pass the ball, hope he doesnt get smashed by a tackler and completed every kick to the post. That was it, which in some cases can be more than enough, granted. We had a good pack (lots of penalties) and were ok on defense, so things worked ok with him on the Pumas. I have vivid memories of Tati Phelan screaming at him for missing a tackle that ended up on a try against us. I dont remember the place, the year not the opponent. I just remember, perfectly, our best tackler's face asking him "how the hell did you miss that?". What i am trying to say, poorly, is that i suspect that part of the intensity that Ledesma brought to the table might be lost. I might be wrong, but this is my gut feeling. To be completely honest, i dont expect a lot of him as a coach. I just want him to keep things as they were in most aspects and improve our scrum. That is it. Not an aiota more. Given how bad our scrum is now, any random guy walking by the training ground should be able to do it. I mean, it'd be really hard to do worse in that aspect. Ledesma did a fantastic work regarding discipline (compare # of RC and YC from our first 2 seasons!). I'd be delighted if he didnt **** that up. The only upside i see in all of this is that now Ledesma is in charge of the Pumas. Dont even get me started on Jaguares and Pumas having different captains. As you can tell from my tone, it's a world cup year and in typical argentine fashion, i am exulting with optimism. [/QUOTE]
