He is the "Panther" in the Pumas' midst, the home-grown Argentinian star who grew up idolising Lote Tuqiri and is being chased by the Western Force.
Manuel "Pantera" Montero is Argentina's next big thing, a 194-centimetre, 105-kilogram winger who has scored 13 tries in 15 Test appearances, including one each against France, England, Ireland and South Africa.

Montero said he was undecided, but leaning towards staying in Argentina.
"I really don't know, it may be a good idea to play in Argentina until the world cup," he said. "Of course it is tempting but I think my place may be in Argentina until after the world cup, and then I can think about which is the best option after that."

"He is a player that is very good in attack with not a lot of experience internationally, so the idea is to give him some more minutes on the field," Hourcade said of his selection in the starting side this weekend.

i can see why they want him, but i have a feeling that he would go to the new Argentinian team which is going to be setted up in the new super 15
 
have loved this kid from the moment he scored against France back during the 2012 summer tests, when he scored the game-winner. Well, I didn't like that in particular, but otherwise I mean...one of the most exciting wingers atm, very heavy but somehow finds the line with good craftiness and an instinct to attack. Still very young, I hope he gets all the notoriety he deserves.
 
He sounds a bit stupid. Why wouldn't he sign with the Force? Unless he doesn't want to be a pro which is pretty much what he said in the IRB interview. He only has to sign a one year deal and then he can join the Argentinean side for 2016. There are far too many positive reasons to list.
 
I believe that he still needs some maturing - He is definitely superb in attack, needs polishing in defense and needs to work on his mind frame. Playing for one year in a Super Rugby team will give him great international experience but can also be a drawback in his confidence if he does not get the necessary playing time! Tough call for him!
