Possibly. It's also a struggle trying to remember all the "stunning" results that Argentina have delivered during the World Cup.

Beating France in the opening game of RWC 2007 which led to some game in Cardiff.

Knocking out the favoured Ireland in 2015 by cutting them apart with some fantastic tries.

Fair point.

Failing to make it out of the group stages on four occasions isn't flash though.

@KiwiMurph was only Scotland....

Argies generally have the wood on the French in RWCs

For all the piss and bluster, a strong Argies is fantastic for world rugby, hopefully the Jaguares can transform Super form into International form now.

Funny how you "forgot" the 2007 and 2015 World Cup I wonder why :winking_face:

At least you can see how Jaguares can potentially transform Super Rugby & bring it back to its glory days of strength vs strength

With AUS rugby being a 🤡 show & SA rugby being decimated by a weak rand + quotas as well as bad coaching & governance

NZ rugby is also likely to decline as well

Highlanders in 2020 will essentially be a Mitre Cup full of journeymen plus A Smith Iaone & Coltman + Blues remaining a basket case

Mickey mouse league in Japan threatens to extract copious amounts of NZ talent

Jaguares offers a chance for a team to emerge with a stable of young emerging talent with Int'l quality throughout team & best atmosphere of any Super Rugby ground

TV time is good for AUS/NZ market

And for good measure dusting up the French for a 2nd time in 3rd/4th playoff in 2007

I should have made it clear when I meant last 3 world cups as they're the ones I've watched & freshest in minds of fans under 30

Goes both ways. You've conveniently forgotten Argentinas efforts in WCs between 1987-1995.

You're comparing apples to oranges

Amateur era very different to nowadays/recent times

Plus I had no interest or recollection of rugby then

taniwharugby

@Jaguares4real no, I think you need to check the responses...you are so busy with all your fishing lines oyu have no idea what bait is being responded too and which fish is biting and if one is biting at all.

I responded to a specific quote, that wasnt even yours then you are saying I am conveniently forgetting somethign.

Aw ok. Based on that logic I'll sit and hope all the achievements of Pinetree, Lochore, Brownlie etc are expunged from the record books.

Those guys were so shit none of them even played in a World Cup.

Not only that they all retired before I was even born so their records are completely irrelevant.

Seriously though I'm very familiar with Pinetree and Lochore a bit as well

TBF I do that all the time. I have conveniently forgotten whole RWCs that I was actually present at. Might have been the result of alcohol, or just results. I don't remember.

KiwiMurph

Great crowd in Argentina.

Looks well over 40k.

Canerbry

A gift for the Hags after the Bumboys butcher fielding a kick.

Stargazer

The Jaguares are well ahead now. They're taking their opportunities, without doing anything spectacular. Brumbies are just utter shit thus far.

Canerbry

20-0 after 20 mins, looks like a long night ahead for the Bumboys. They're just looking lazy - travel?

kiwiinmelb

Have the brumbies checked out ?

Maybe. But their game plan fucking sucks if they can't win a lineout
