On the size of their pack bringing in two locks the size of loosies


Looks like they are equipping themselves to spread the ball


Rain won’t be their friend and nor will the Bok pack

It is going to be very windy on Saturday at Twickenham, with gale-force conditions.

Up and unders will probably be critical in the match.

I was expecting Cinti to get the chop after his hopeless defensive display last weekend, I see he is indeed gone.

Why are they playing at Twickenham? This is essentially a home game for South Africa.

More money for Argentina apparently, or that's the explanation I got when I googled it.

How does that make sense? Rugby Union has become the most laughable farce 2015.

From this article:


Why, then, have Argentina ventured north when they know that their passionate fans will be outnumbered? As ever, finances will be a driving force. While a portion of the profits from a lucrative matchday at Twickenham will bolster the coffers for England’s Rugby Football Union (RFU), a not-far-from capacity crowd will also blow past any of the stadiums regularly in use back home in Buenos Aires. Logistically, it makes sense, too – almost all of Felipe Contepomi’s squad are European-based, and an early relocation will make transitioning back to their clubs smoother for the short stint that precedes November’s Quilter Nations Series.

There is a cost advantage to Argentina playing in Argentina.
