No BS
It's also an indicator that just using how many players have been capped internationally is a TERRIBLE metric to use to indicate quality of players
Especially with smaller nations like Argentina & Scotland who combined have 3 professional sides
Hence they'll have a higher % of players who've played for Scotland or Argentina as they have a smaller player pool to choose from
Finally Argentina have a 2nd team called Argentina XV
They played in a tournament in Uruguay this month - conceded 48 points in losing to Russia and got dusted up by Uruguay
These games were International test matches btw so players would've been capped
Finally bear in Mind Argentina were playing Int'l rugby regularly in the Rugby Championship FOUR years before they starting playing Super Rugby
Plus the game over there is entirely amateur - No Mitre 10, Currie Cup, Shute Shueld/NRC
Hence their U20 side Pumitas are a big development tool for ARG rugby and that's been going very well recently
Number of players have graduated from U20 to Jaguares in last 2 years
and this will increase over next 2 yearsPlus there'll be a Pampas XV playing Currie Cup every year starting in July

Riiiiight so you're stretching a bit there.

"The team that defended the best tonight won, and that was Jaguares. I thought their defense was outstanding. We made more mistakes, and it was due to that pressure."
"They attacked the breakdown very well, we struggled to get any quick ball, and because of that their defense was set and they just kept coming at us."
"They thoroughly deserved the win, they came here to play. The style of rugby they played tonight I think it will bode very well for them, hopefully for the next 2 weeks."
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.

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

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.

@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

I would've settled for Scotland were better but thanks for the deep thought involved in this post.

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
