[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 521098, member: 42683"] Well, earlier results this year are not really important when predicting. Argentina didn't use the elite squad when playing most matches and the elite players only got released after the June Tour. One of them, Horacio Agulla, even decided not to extend his contract with Leicester because they were not happy with him missing 2 months of club rugby for the Rugby Championship. He now signed with Bath, but is available. Only 7 players in the squad are contracted by a local team, the other 26 play in Europe. 3 in the Premiership, 1 in the Pro12, the other 23 play in the TOP 14. Montpellier will be missing 6 players, Racing Metro 4 and Biarritz miss 2 players while the Rugby Championship is played. Those teams are the reason we will see such a strong Pumas side. [/QUOTE]
