...another good try by the Argies...what we're seeing is virtually the Argentinian team that will play in next years Super Rugby comp I think...playing with a lot of gusto and should be v competitive in the SA conference....currently Argies leading 21 - 7

 ...when they are stringing their passes together the Argies are looking dangerous...Baabaas lacking cohesion with a lot of one out stuff...Naholo scores for the Baabaas tho narrowing the gap just before halftime ...21-12

 ...Cordero scores again... 28 - 12 ...not a bad little winger, both tries under the post -  having a big game but has limped off at halftime..

 Yes Brycy, Argies playing very well, some beautiful rugby. Barbarians look like a group of good players but not a team. We will see if they can get some continuity in the second half.

...Baabaas played like 120 yr olds...Argentina gave a hint of what they might bring to the Super rugby comp in 2016..

Looking at the match, it was clear that the backline defense of the Barbarians was seriously deficient.   Between Crotty and Kuridrani there was one great open door for the Argentinians to explore and they did just that.
Baabaas did play like 120 year olds - but remember they did have the geriatric Matfield in their team.   As per normal he destroyed the Baabaas Tight 5 totally - so what else did you expect.

Well I am not at all surprised at the score.
What did u expect from a team that has no leader.
Pleased to see that old Greybeard is going out in style.....as a loser.
Trust this is the end of him.
Enough is enough.

 ...yea as a rule, a winger doesn't make a good captain- too far from the action... nice gesture letting Botha take the last kick tho  - funny as...

...seemed like a tired bunch the Baabaas - been a long season by the looks and time for a holiday..

 ...pretty tidy performance by the Argies considering it was effectively their B team

without the likes of Ayerza, Creevy,  Tuculet, Imhoff  etc - up against a Baabaa team 'bursting' with international caps and talent...

...Landajo and Sanchez quite an effective halves pairing for Argentina - both scoring tries and the latter kicking 7/7 conversions.....but Baabaas not playing with much conviction today - was more the like of an exhibition match lacking intensity..


...also apart from being the Baabaas 125th anniversary,  it was a tribute match to Jonah with the Baabaas warming up in teeshirts donned with the infamous eleven on back,  also a minutes silence observed as well as Nadolo blanking out the 11 on his jersey in honor of Lomu...not to mention the try Nadolo scored that was described at the time as Lomu -esque..

 That was pretty decent of the Pumas .The BaaBaas used to be on a more level playing field in the amatuer days when their opposition used to have a limited time to practise together too.

 ... yea going by what they displayed with their B team yesterday against an all stars Baabaa team, the Los Jaguares could easily upset a few applecarts in next year's Super rugby - showed there is a bit of depth to their talent...

...and as other players return from Europe they can only improve...betting odds could be quite favourable as well and a few players worth slotting into yr fantasy team such as Sanchez, Cordero, Montoya , Landajo ,  Tuculet, de la Fuente, Creevy, Leguizamon...plenty to choose from..

 Brycy
I am watching out to see which of the Argentinian players are in Super Rugby.   I am planning to be careful is my Fantasy Selections.   As I understand the match schedule the Argentinians must play all the SA franchises in their Group - plus all the NZ franchises.   There should be more worries in NZ about them there is in SA.
