Standard Bank Pampas XV fell to Griquas
The National Standard Bank Pampas XV, lost by 26 to 18 to Griquas, in the quarter-finals of the Vodacom Cup 2012 , and in this way ended their participation in the tournament in South Africa.
The points of the team led by Daniel Hourcade and Mauricio Reggiardo tries were scored by Gabriel Ascarate and Benjamin Madero, who also added two penalties and a conversion. For Griquas, the only try was the work of Landman Ligtoring, while fullback Rudi Vogt, scored seven penalties.
With this result, Standard Bank Pampas XV ended their participation in the Vodacom Cup, where they earned four wins and four losses in its eight games.
Although they will be disappointed they sure have accumulated more experience and they still a young side where a lot of the current crop will be back next year knowing what to expect.

Couldn't help but notice that the Argie u19 prop has a Vietnamese surname...and yet plays front row...I'd have thought a typical Vietnamese would be more inclined to play scrummie or wing when selected in such teams...
Perhaps he has the height of a typical Vietnamese and got the bulk from his Argie mum's side?

Keeping in mind this is only the squad for the June tests and not the Rugby Championship.

Gidday,
just found this gr8 thread and as we plan to go over for the october game at Rosario reading with interest.
this talk of Brazil reminded me of these very funny adverts
They are proof that Brazil wants to promote rugby, in its own funny way of course.

Have we lost our resident Argie?
I have been enjoying reading up on Sth American rugby.
Did anyone see the Argentine IRB junior game against Australia?
The Argies looked darn strong. Their scrummage was lovely to watch even though it laid waste to young Australian men.
I hope they make the finals and get to play Wales.
Hey Cave Dweller, if you are out there, can you tell us anything about this very strong Argentine Junior team?

Are you sure?
As many of the postings over several months had near perfect occasional broken Spanish into English grammatical errors. *Very* hard to pull off.
Regardless, shame he is gone as the postings were interesting regardless of who it *really* was.

the resident Argie, Cave Dweller was a Saffa?! That's the last time I trust the Internet. Right, who on here is pretending to be someone they're not?
For the record I played 4 games of super rugby and a season in Japan and now I'm the backs coach of a very successful European club.

Hard to imagine Cave Dweller being a Saffie given such depth of his knowledge of Argentinian rugby and like...plus what is his motivation to do that in the first place if he's meant to be a Saffie after all?
Was going to nominate him for the rookie poster of the year award!

Oh well, the moderators are the like the refs, we may not always agree with their decisions but we have to accept them. Even red cards.
Given all the work CD put in, it may have been a fitting penalty to allow the charade to continue, even if under the law of 'enough rope & hanging'.
CD was obviously using up a lot of his/her time to gather this somewhat useful information.
Anyway, rules are rules.
