    Man what id give to have Argentina to be in the final. Inspirational team. To me it doesnt matter who wins tomorrow and go on to be the world champions Argentina to me have been the most enjoyable passionate team in the world they deserve to be treated with respect and know that 2007 was their year

    Good post, I'd go along with that.

    I honestly hope they join the six nations as frankly we need someone like Argentina to drag the standard up (and I'd love to watch their home games!)

    Argies third in the world, fair play to them :)

    Whatever about any other team, this is definately Argentina's tournament and will be remembered as such.

    I hope tomorrows match will be half as entertaining.

    Fair play to the Pumas - they've done themselves proud in this RWC.

    A lot of fun and restored my faith in Union for 24 hours :p. I thought that France were a bit unlucky in first half with the marginal forward passes. Still Argentina scored some great tries and fully deserved their win.

    Argentina have been the team of the tournament. Regardless of the result in the final. They have played very inventive and entertaining rugby.
    Well done to them.

    amazing play, great pass from Hernadez...

    Try of the RWC?

    Agreed - exactly what I said when I saw it.

    There is something refreshingly old fashioned about the Argentinian rugby game - reminiscent of the best in the amateur era, especially when they throw the ball around. They are unpredictable. Contrast the robotic crash and ruck game of the All Blacks, France and Ireland and everyone else that have copied that boring style. Ruins the game as a spectacle IMO.

    Bernard Laporte should get the sack for his failures. I know he has achieved much more than EOS has for Ireland, but, in their own ways, they have both underachieved and killed the spirit of two very good rugby teams.

    I think Pierre Berbizier will be a good replacement!

    Aguante Pumas!!!!!!!!!!
    Amazing World cup for us. I just hope we can capitalize this experience.
    Will see what happen with the 6N/3N story.
    In the meantime, we'll keep cheering for Ireland.

    Laporte is on his way out anyway. I have an idea and I'm not sure it was suggested before. Why dont the Tri-Nations admit Argentina and then switch the tournament to an event similar to the World Cup whereby there is a host country and all the games would be played in say, South Africa over the course of a month? This would stop wining babies like Aaron Mauger complaining about having to travel to Buenos Aires. Somebody should remind Mr. Mauger that in this World Cup, his team were very much outperformed by the Pumas.

    Argentina BORING team? Pumas don't play good rugby? What about this? eh? and now who will say something? Great Game for the Pumas, Tackle, Balls, Passion, Courage.
    This Pumas are great! The Argies kicked the Frenchie's asses again with a 34-10 contundent victory.
    I would prefer Argentina in the final, not England.
    I want to see PUMAS playing a BIG ANUAL TOURNAMENT.They deserved it.
    I think BOKS are the CHAMPIONS.

    EH its got everything to do with it actually. their performance is worthy of New Zealand making the effort to travel to South America or maybe you didnt see what Mauger said. its got EVERYTHING to do with it.

    I knew they would win Friday's game given their spirit and camaraderie throughout this tournament. A lesson to the Irish team really. Hopefully Argentina will soon be allowed into the Six Nations.
