[QUOTE="psychic duck, post: 587928, member: 48703"] [FONT=Verdana] [/FONT] This is BS. Argentina could have clearly achieved more. They may not have props aplenty any more but they have over strengths such as unprecedented amount of talent in the wings now and streetwise loose forwards. A better coach would have engineered a game plan to suit their personnel of this generation better. A better coach would have the guts to experiment some of the bulging wing supplies in the sparse 13 position. A better coach wouldn't have been so stupid to approach matches without a goal kicker up to the required level, and then at the same time go into the matches without the try scorers either. And it's not as if the 2007 team has been replaced entirely by rags either. Roncero was good but Ayerza isn't exactly crappy. Players to have come into the side since such as Carizza, Figallo, Creevy, Leguizamon aren't shoddy replacements. They have good enough players in their first choice team to be able to beat a side like Australia and the 6 Nations sides and heavy losses to Ireland should not be acceptable. So what? Ireland have never conceded 73 points against South Africa. And at least you didn't see Ireland saying "it's okay we got tonked by the All Blacks as Argentina would have too" either, instead they didn't renew their coach's deal. Phelan's 2 year contract expires this year .... [/QUOTE]
