Is this the season they break their duck?

 

[tigerland12]

Pretty keen to see Pablo Matera. He was awesome for their U20's last year, thought he had real potential.

Can someone tell me why quality players like Amorosino, Fernandez and Carrizza are all unattached? Very classy players.

Everyone watch out for Juan Imhoff, he's a bit of a freak at times.

 

[masai]

May I ask where you got the positional information from?

At first I thought it was very revealing seeing Sánchez the lone five-eighth and Hernández at fullback, but Lobo being listed as a back row implies that this list was compiled by someone rather far from the Argentine coaching brains trust. Lobo is most decidedly a prop.

If the listed positions are not sacrosanct, I wouldn't be surprised to see Amorosino, Camacho or even Bosch start at fullback, and Cabello perhaps seeing more time at blindside than second row.

Any bolters you've kept track of in the European domestic competitions that we should keep an eye out for? I inquire because of fantasy rugby

If they play for 80 minutes instead of 60 minutes this year they might barge themselves to a couple of wins.

 

[RoffsChoice]

So I'm predicting
Ayerza, Creevy, Figalo, Albacete, Carizza, JMFL (c), JML, Senatore, Landajo, JMH, Imhoff, S. Fernandex, Bosch, Camacho, Tuculet
Guinazu, Diaz, ??? (who is their 6th front rower Santiago?), Galarza, Lobo, Cubelli, Sanchez, Contepomi

 

[tigerland12]

Lobo is the prop, its just been listed incorrectly.

I'd expect to see Cabello covering Lock/flank with Matera as the loose reserve, seeing as Albacete and Carizza play a lot of the 80min.

Bit of a throw up over Tuculet, Agulla and Amorosino. for fullback.

Think its stupid Contepomi is even included, he is well past his prime. And they don't need him, Sanchez is developing and they have Fernandez and Bosch playing in the centres. Gonzolo Tiesi should of been included over him.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Hmm, I do seem to remember Lobo at flanker, maybe he's a Deon Fourie?

 

[Rassie]

Ayerza will not face South Africa due to injury

I would go with something like this

1 Lobo
2 Agustín Creevy
3 Juan Figallo
4 Manuel Carizza
5 Patricio Albacete
6. JFL
7. Juan Leguizamón
8 Leonardo Senatore
9 Martín Landajo
10 Nicolás Sánchez
11 Juan Imhoff
12 Felipe Contepomi
13 Marcelo Bosch
14 Gonzalo Camacho
15 Maradona aka Hernandez

 

[sudrugby]

Strange to see Lobo as a flanker... I believe it is a mistake
I believe the fly half to be Felipe Contepomi before he retire more than Nicolas Sanchez who wasn't playing that much with Bordeaux next year.

 

[tigerland12]

Surley El Mago is their best option at 10? Injury plagued or not, he's still a lot better than Samchez and Contepomi at this point in time.

 

[Gnostic]

Lobo as Flanker has to be a mistake, as otherwise they only have three props in the squad, unless I am going blind, and four are needed for a match day 23. So if one is already injured they will need to draft another in?

 

[Bairdy]

I got the squad from a Springboks news article, so the blame rests with them!

 

[Rassie]

Bath tighthead prop Juan Pablo Orlandi has been recalled due to Ayerza injury. Benjamín Macome has been added due to the injury concern surrounding Pumas captain Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe

 

[RoffsChoice]

Losing JMFL will be big.

 

[sudrugby]

He is not the regular 10 with the Racing. Was not in 2012-13 and now with Jonny Sexton, he is fixed at 15

 

[Santiago]

I'm sorry i've been off

Nicolas sanchez it's going to be the kicker due hernandez hasn't been good lately but contepomi it's going to be aswell
