I've heard that the Argentine's have been using the powers of a local vudu specialist to knock off the power of their oponents. If this is true or not..I can't tell, but these guys are frightening every team out there. Los Pumas are gonna beat the shit out of the scott’s….no doubt.

Certainly in the case of the argentina and Fiji match the better side won but I get the feeling that the rucking style might well have been called going over the top in most home nations fixtures. Those nations seemed to gain possesion by driving through the tackler and tackled. I didn't see the Irish doing the same. I think they could have but didn't because local interpretation of the rules would not allow it. I am reminded of the old style All Blacks rucking where the two 2nd row forwards linked some 10 yards from the ruck and then drove in as an irresistable force. Have I got it completely wrong? Re: The Scots..snowballs would fare better in hell. Not because the Scottish are rubbish or lack heart...This Argentine side is good.
