Interesting thing about Puma-Cheika: his Spanish is actually remarkably good. Random bits of French pronunciation (from his Stade Francais days) or Italian words (Petrarca) but mighty impressive for a guy learning in his 50s.

Cheika is a fascinating dude. Second gen Lebanese immigrant who makes a tonne of money in fashion, speaks four languages, professional rugby coach.

[@Rukhage]

It helps that Argentine Spanish is heavily influenced by Italian immigration so I can see him sliding easily into it. Plus Argentine rugby was brought by the Brits so our rugby nomenclature is in English rather than French.

Im so hyped to see argentina play, I know they can hit really high but at the same time as you say im concerned of the lows (and consistensy, our biggest enemy and I mean it as a society, not only in rugby), I hope the bad experience in 2019 is present in their minds and they will be looking to go for all and repeat as you say 2007.

[@ricotalactea]

Cheika anger is no problem...here we don't mind someone shouting...sometime is our most confortable way of communication

[@davidbrennan8671]

It's interesting with Boffelli becoming one of the world's best kickers because when ARG first made him first choice kicker he was very inconsistent (as you would expect, but also to a point that you'd question what they saw in him instead of the flyhalf). He's the epitome of practice makes perfect as I wouldn't trust anyone else to take a last chance saloon penalty kick. Think that improve goal kicking gave him a wave of confidence that has benefitted the other aspects of his game, turning him into the best (back) players in the world. I feel everyone on that side of the world cup draw is a potential dark horse, especially given how my lumps the other side will take out of each other. Would be a breath of fresh (Buenos Aires, if you will lol) air to see ARG go all the way in France

[@Rukhage]

They say sports teams reflect the society they come from and boy oh boy do the Pumas ever. The highs and lows are the best way to describe Argentina as a whole. Once again you've summarized Argentine rugby to a T. Whatever comes I hope the boys put on a show and just run with it. I will say that every time we've had a foreign coach the Pumas have always made a quantum leap in their game: case in point when Alex Wylie was in charge back in the mid to late 90's I remember we had a really good run against big teams (including a 46-20 thrashing to England I was lucky to witness live); he gave us our first big victory against Ireland in the 99 RWC and that completely overhauled our mentality. Here's hoping to the next quantum leap in Argentine Rugby!

[@ahhere7880]

If only Argentina could mix this current defensive form with that 2015 attack they would be unreal

[@lukedowling1300]

Some of their attack against the Scottish in their tour was like Ireland, but on steroids. 2019 was a weird outlier, but Argentina always perform in WCs. While not playing for a single club, most Argentinians have been shining in their respective clubs. I’d be wary of what Cheika will have planned!

[@hanoitripper1809]

Who was in that backline then

[@kagishomokoena2120]

Many people are underestimating the Pumas. I reckon they will top their group and reach the semi final come RWC…. Vamos Pumas !!!!!

[@chinmayhejmadi7902]

They're on the easier side of the draw aren't they? They could easily get to the final if their competition is Wales, Australia and England

[@affiliateclimbmax9287]

France did that once

[@garethrichmond4388]

They've made to the semis twice before. Considering they are playing either Australia, Wales, Georgia or Fiji in the QF I'd say making it the semis is a very strong possibility

[@Luic1987]

There is a genuine case to make that Argentina are the strongest side in the much weaker half of the draw - marginally ahead of Australia and England on current standings, and clearly ahead of Wales, Fiji, Georgia, and Japan at present. Therefore it's fair to say they only need to have one great performance in a semi final to reach a final, with all of the games before that point being fixture they should be expecting rather than just be hoping on a bit of luck to win. Their odds of circa 25/1 are certainly the best value ones in the tournament by bookmakers.

[@blueboy1788]

Think the other element they have in their favour is that there is now a ton of experience in the side. I saw a stat the other day that, in the Rugby Championship, they actually have the most experienced starting XV if picked on number of caps, something I can't imagine has ever been the case before. Obviously a lot of that side has been a part of the up & down past 10 years, but you have to imagine that wealth of caps has ironed out some of the rough edges (except Lavanini of course.....). Actually really like them to win that group & make the semis, beyond that it's gonna be tough.

[@JaemanEdwards]

The Pumas will make the semi finals, lose to the All Blacks, and then win the bronze match against the Wallabies. Luciano Gonzalez and Rodrigo Isgro are two total beasts from the Argentina sevens team who are in the squad. Both made the 2023 HSBC World Sevens Dream Team, and were on absolute 🔥 all year, with victories in three of six tournament finals they were in. True phenoms. Offensive weapons who will bring a real sting to the Pumas attack.

That could quite possibly happen. Pumped up and inspired by their World Champion football team, roared on by the entire country, and riding a wave of passion and emotion, the Pumas, do have the potential.

[@ricotalactea]

Great analysis about the defense approach

[@leonrobinson2053]

Spot on, Argentina have always been exciting to watch and their win against England was fully deserved. They work the ball really well in attack and are never in two minds about penalties, they take what you give them and keep the score board ticking. The problems for them are simple ones, discipline and sticking to their strengthens. This is a side who outplayed England and won but also lost to a 14 man England side (Elliot Daley red card early in the game) in recent memory. They are little all in or bust

I've never played for an Argentinian coach that didn't scream as much or more than Cheika does, I don't think the Argentinians will have a problem with his temperament, I used to have a coach that would slap our faces really hard before the game so we get mad and use the anger to play better, and it did work, if Argentina can keep a level head and keep good discipline in the field they can win against any team, anywhere, at any time.
