Argentina has never beaten the All Blacks

- Imagine the anguish if they manage to do it this time - 1st cup game 2015?

Quite on the cards actually!

I actually support Argentina as my secondary Rugby team (England will always be my Primary)

I don't think they will win - I'm picking the ABs by 10-15 - but since Argentina got included in the Tri Nations, they are slowly coming up to the level of SA/Aus/NZ - its only a matter of time till they are a genuine threat in world Rugby

The Argies have actually drawn with us though
Plus they have beat both Aussie and South Africa in aussie and SA, its only a matter of time till they do beat us but not this year.
The Argies have beaten old England a few times (at least in Rugby)

I'm enjoying reading the comments on the UK news websites. The Poms are as one-sided as the AB fans. If the AB's beat England at any stage, it will be down to McCaw cheating, intimidating the ref, etc. NZ being 'chokers' when it really counts.

Believe it or not, some are still going on about Umanga's spear tackle on O'Driscol (lions tour). No worse I guess, than kiwis rabbiting on about food poisoning some time last century

Couldn't they find any Richard Loe footage he's bound to he hit a few poms as well I don't think he restricted his activities to just his team mates and Aussies.
I rewatched that tackle on youtube the other day its still looks pretty bad. We were lucky to get away with it as we did. but I can't ever remember ever seeing malice from Tana ever.

I'd like to see the Argies win the whole thing. It sure will be an interesting first game for the AB's, especially given Argentina's current form.

Richard Loe, now that's a name you don't hear too often these days. Best AB that's ever played IMO !

I have grandson that reminds me of Richard Loe when running with the ball in hand - as long a he doesn't have loe's bad attributes that is OK with me!

That's why I support them - I think in the last WC they got 3rd? When the Argentines hit their Form - they are a really exciting team to watch.
