Argentina in Top Eight
There are definitely no shortage of great rugby teams out there, all battling for supremacy against the others, all looking for a victory. It takes a lot to constitute a great rugby team, and all of the elements have to be on the same page if they every want to win it all. With that being the case, there’s always the need to build a team that will work as one, as team chemistry is probably the second factor in determining a winner from a loser. In fact, most sports are like that, and there is sufficient need for any team to be built around this, as a team that doesn’t work well together will fail. It doesn’t matter about the quality of the players as much as them working together as a cohesive unit.
Argentina is definitely one of those teams where this is being exemplified. While earlier on, they weren’t exactly playing that way, but now things are certainly looking up for the Argentines. There have been very few teams that have done as well as them, with them moiving up to the eight spot in the rankings. They’ve gotten that way with the victory over France, and that improved their rank from nine up to their new spot. The biggest fact about the victory is the fact that it came over France who was ranked third, and they were soundly beaten by the Argentines. A lot of that credit has to go to Felipe Contepomi, who scored a pretty good 31 points for his team.
