:smiling_face_with_heart-eyes: :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

So brumbies next and the. Crusaders. Can you beat both of them with your test team?

I knew we would get this stage with the Phil Kearns narrative coming from a Kiwi poster

It's a sign of Jaguares success rattling some cages & potential of a Frankenstein monster emerging & becoming a potential powerhouse in Super Rugby

Real Reason why Kearns was such a was that Jaguares dusted up his beloved Waratahs team +

Jaguares in their last 24 regular season games have beaten

Sharks three times Bulls three times Stormers twice

Blues twice Hurricanes Chiefs

Brumbies twice Rebels Waratahs Reds Sunwolves

I mean that's only a 75% winning record

Only Hurricanes & Crusaders have won more than the 20 victories the Jaguares have collected in last 2 season (32 matches)

These are spectacular numbers

Im still struggling to see what the fuck your point is.

The jags won lots of games this season? No shit, that is how they won their conference. Is someone claiming they didn’t win these games?

You are deluded if you think your team is unbeatable on any given day. The 75% win percentage kind of proves that.

Your claim about them rattling cages and being a super rugby powerhouse is laughable. They might even win the comp this year and it would still be laughable.

Am wondering who is upset by the Hawaray's success?

Sure us Chiefs supporters, and many Whichever-NZ-team-is-playing supporters wanted the Chiefs to win, but not sure anyone is resenting the Jagularee's success ...

... methinks J4L is attempting to create some angst that isn't there.

@mariner4life said in QF 3: Jaguares v Chiefs:

Riiiiight so you're stretching a bit there.

Basically we have three - BBBR, ALB and Cane plus DMac if he wasn't out for the season.

@booboo totally is.

The angst is with the trolling. I predicted them to win and now getting my nose rubbed in it like I predicted a 66-0 drubbing.

Can't be playing that game

You're a capped International whether you've played 1 test match or 100 test matches

Unless your're willing to admit using Test matches as a metric of ability & quality is a crude and simplistic measure

Yes Moli is exactly the same as Cane - TBH, I can't be arsed with your trolling, I'm out.

It's even posting to itself and trying to argue with that, brilliant. Hooroos is Kearns for asking if the hags can beat their next two opponents? The drugs are strong with this one.

I'm lost, so will the Jags beat the Crusaders and Brumbies with their test team or not?

@Jaguares4real said in QF 3: Jaguares v Chiefs:

@Jaguares4real

Crusaders have 16 All Blacks in matchday 23

Only 16? Not if I were an AB selector

@Jaguares4real can you please address the reasons Scotland beat Argentina twice last year ?

I'm a big fan but my heritage prevents me forking out for sky. I'm actually typing this with a beanie on cos I don't like big heating bills.

Because in the 1st game ARG were in autopilot mode

One of most gutless examples of not giving a fuck, no intensity or desire to defend

HC Daniel Hourcade was leaving Players didn't play for him and results showed that

Check out Los Pumas results from after 2015 RWC to 2018 June Matches

2 years of futility and incompetence

2nd game in E'burgh was a close game either side could have won Meh

Both sides are of a similar quality

I'd also state that Pumas historically have tended to treat test matches like friendlies

Attitudes has not always been the most serious for non RWC games or TRC

See RWC 2007 2011 2015 for comparisons

Finally I'd add Jaguares players not being rotated for first 3 seasons of SR leading to playing being absolutely shattered for EOYT was also a contributing factor

Hence players took positions for granted

No young people were developed or utilised

General malaise set into ARG rugby

Bearing in ARG has a diabolical travel schedule every year

Well done SCO won a meaningless game in ARG vs a side who'd checked out & a close 2nd match in E'burgh

Los Pumas care about TRC + RWC That what's counts

I'd be more concerned with state of Juniors rugby in Scotland

U20 side had the disgrace of being 1st Home Nations side to be relegated to 2nd division

Their team was rather shite but hey lets celebrate two wins of little value & ignore the parlous state of junior rugby in Scotland

Wouldn't have thought so judging by the results and being 10th ranked in the world does your arguement no favours either.

Can you make sure you post on here whether or not Argentina have "checked out" prior to each game they play ? will make tipping the results much easier.

Mucho Gracias.

@MN5

As you want to be wilfully obtuse/dense I'll break it down for you

Fact that ARG are 10th in rankings is:

A. Meaningless

B. Linked to their lack of intensity for Test matches they consider friendlies

There's been ALOT of changes to ARG in last 18 months

Ledesma going from Jaguares HC to Pumas HC in 2018

As well as Quesada now being the Jaguares HC in 2019

You now have two formidable coaches who've been successful in many spots across the world Two guys who don't fuck about & have clout with the players

Let see how Los Pumas get on this season

Jagaures have shown there's a lot to like so far this season

Player development & utilisation has been brilliant so far this year

Players being rotated so they can perform at peak performance levels

Times are changing

Pumas have woken up from their lethargy & incompetence at all levels of the game

I'm ignoring the latter part of your post as it has little to do with your comment ...

and @MN5 s reply...

Wouldn't have thought so judging by the results and being 10th ranked in the world

IF Los Pumas cared about RWCs and TRC while not caring about 'friendlies' their ranking would be higher than 10. It would come from performing against top sides and during a double points period.

No question that they are on the up now and trucking nicely, but trying to explain away losses and low rankings with an argument of 'they save themselves for when it matters' holds no water at all.

To explain it clearly let's say they won more than one game against tier one opposition at RWC 2015. They would have had a start of this cycle well up the rankings. Performances better than 3 wins out of 18 TRC matches in this cycle would have maintained some healthiness.

I get your other points but @MN5 s comment was bang on and not obtuse OR dense.

I have a feeling the ABs would be mighty pissed off if they lost the number one ranking.

Scotlands two victories both came in the last 18 months.

ABs are a different animal They've been #1 for most of the Professional Era

Pumas have no interest TBH in rankings You can play mickey mouse teams & pick up points

SCO victories whilst nice are ultimately meaningless long term

RWC is the objective & as I've stated already Pumas were still getting their shit together

No you can't. Not materially anyway.

I think you best go and research how the rankings points work.

Oh, and rankings aren't meaningless when it comes to RWC draws and tiers (and therefore your chances)
