Young man , we miss you and we need your feedback very badly...we need information in young circles...you seem a very nice and humble young and talented man...this what the forum really needs...give us a few Chiefs secrets...lolz...or more importantly the Pumas secrets.

 

Instead of mud slinging lets create a discussion group. I like the Argentines very much and your rugby history indeed is great...huge respect for oldies like Hugo Porta and Hernandez.

Excellent young man is our Thomas. I am sure he will drop by some time again.
I seem to recall the Stormers signing an Argie test lock for 2014 but unfortunately it was not Thomas

I never was convinced Thomas was for real. Seemed too contrived to be true, why would an Argie player be posting on a South African forum?
Could be a "sitting bull" type situation, i.e. another poster posing as Thomas.

He is probably on the beach at Clifton enjoying the girls - and really too busy to worry about minor things like rugby contributions on this site.  Remember his dad has a holiday home in Clifton.

" why would an Argie player be posting on a South African forum? "

 

Why not?...we are not all the same...I just think he is humble and an individual and being young with a lot of SA connections...why would a person concoct such a story...I always give a person the benefit of the doubt...sometimes we read too much into a situation...I don't think I'm being naive when I say that.

 

Mike is probably right...he's probably enjoying the gals on Third or Fourth Beach...

 I believe him, & there was the you tube clip .........plus his recall of his 1st test against our Bokke nogal (albeit on bench) was superb, talking about his early rugby memorie s, adding a verse of their anthem. Lovely stuff .

 Yeah...I sincerely believe he is genuine...absolutely...his inside knowledge and his reply  about his country...in fact Argentinians are very genuine people with little or no hangups...not like the majority of us in this modern western world.

 

You are going to feel a right poopal if one day he becomes a player of note...if I were you Just Win, I would apologise and retract that statement...even if you think you are right...the problem with this world is that we have become cynical and miss out in life because of our unbelief...it's just that ugly part of human pride and arrogance.

They have also identified the 20-year-old Lavanini as a lock to help make up for the absence of skipper Craig Clarke, who has left for a contract in Ireland.

Lavanini was part of the Chiefs academy this season and at 2m and 120kg was picked for the Pumas last week when veteran Patricio Albacete was injured and could not play the Springboks. He is only 20 but impressed in the Junior IRB world championships this season.

They will miss Craig Clarke. He was a guy who made the most of his talent & was a very good co-captain. Glad to hear about the young talent coming through at lock.
Chiefs have fantastic coaches and always find a way to get good players and get the most out of them in good structures.
