[QUOTE="barkinghooker, post: 976426, member: 71333"] I have to disagree regarding Argentina. They play attractive rugby but mid year and end of year tests they don't do well but I said previously they warranted joining a big league finishing 3rd at a world cup. The narrower defeats I'm guessing is because of the SR team and adapting their game away from their conservative years. I don't think being hammered in a quarter final justifies Japan's hype though. I know the game was different back in 95 but I don't remember South Africa being part of a championship and they did alright. They always had the domestic strength and Japan do not have that structure and growth at the moment. I'd rather the game grows in the region so by 2027 all 20 teams will hopefully be fully professional. Japan could be the reason for that. [/QUOTE]
