[QUOTE="Feicarsinn, post: 587931, member: 22777"] Okay, I'd ask that you try and not turn this into a dick swinging contest. It serves no purpose but to undermine your argument. I made the comparison between Ireland and Argentina because historically (over the past 20 years or so) they've been are roughly a similar standard. Your point was that Argentina should be happy with the results they've achieved under Phelan and therefore the calls to replace him are unwarranted. I said that were Ireland to achieve similar results I'd be unimpressed with the head coach. As I've said I'm aware of the fact that we got tanked by New Zealand. If anything that furthers my point. That result was pretty much the nail in the coffin for Kidney. He would have been sacked there and then if the IRFU could have afforded it and there wasn't a single person in the country who wanted to keep him on (probably.) The fact that people like yourself still aren't calling for Phelan's head after a 60 point loss to South Africa shows that there's a lack ambition withing Argentine rugby. No tier one nation should ever accept a loss like that, regardless of the circumstances. [/QUOTE]
