[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 661669, member: 57076"] have they, though ? I know they played a good one in Cardiff this year, but they've been God awful for the past year plus. Taking POUNDINGS from Samoa, S.A., Australia (home), France, England (home), Ireland...and more recently *losing all their games in Fiji, Samoa and Japan*. There's no doubt Italy had progressed up til this point, but their pool of players needs to follow. If you don't produce the players, it doesn't matter who you play. There isn't a constant progression of your team just because you play strong opposition. More into the topic of Argentina, they themselves are Gods of Rugby for the rest of Latina America sides which they play, and annihilate/obliterate/pulverize each and every year. And this has been going on for decades, and those other sides aren't looking to improve or at least not in a constructive, substantial way. They still get ripped apart with similar scores to decades ago. The Pumas *may*, in theory, forever be the team that loses every game in TRC every single year. They have to insure the players keep coming, and those are well coached. You don't just 'magically', or automatically get better just by the sole exercise of facing harsh opposition, de facto. There's aaaaall the rest that needs to follow. [/QUOTE]
