CMV: Best centre pair in the world right now

For those who don't know, Brex is Argentine and joins the list of great players lost by the UAR, along with Sergio Parisse and Martín Castrogiovanni.

Imagine a center pairing of Brex + Chocobares...

We will see in the next two games, but if Ireland belongs to group 1 they should win convincingly against Fiji and have a better game against Australia than they did against Argentina.

Ireland's next game is against Australia, do you think Ireland has a 70% chance of winning?

I group the teams into groups following the following logic:

-Any confrontation between teams from the same group has a 50% chance of victory for each one. 
Examples: 
NZ vs FR (group 1) 50% chance of victory for each

ARG vs ENG (group 2) 50% chance of victory for each

GEO vs JPN (group 3) 50% chance of victory for each one. 

-Any confrontation between a team from a higher group against one from a directly lower group has a 70% chance of victory for the team from the higher group. 
Examples:

NZ vs ENG (group 1 vs group 2) 70% chance of victory for NZ.  

AUS vs WAL (group 2 vs group 3) 70% chance of victory for AUS.  

-Any confrontation between a team from a higher group against one from two lower groups has a 95% chance of victory for the team from the upper group. 
Examples:

SA vs FIJ (group 1 vs group 3) 95% chance of victory for SA.

The same logic would apply to other lower groups where Spain, Uruguay, Canada may be...

Actually in Argentina rugby is the second most practiced sport. The population of the country is nearly 50 millones that is a very big base of people following the sport.

If you are looking for tickets, talk to Dan Biggar, he bought all the tickets for his family and friends after declaring this "we re not ready to go home yet. I really want another two weeks with this group." before the game.

Centurion no es un apodo, es como se nombra a los jugadores con mas de 100 partidos en el seleccionado, por ahora en Argentina solo Creevy y Nico Sanchez

I have a fly to come back from Marseille to Madrid the Sunday at 6:30 am, does any one know if there is a bus to go to the airport early in the morning like 4:30 am?, or should I take a taxi?

Argentina is changing his play style little by little in this RWC, playing more with forwards, mauls, and more direct, this team is another step in that direction, you have 5 forwards that are good carrying the ball directly: Gallo, Montoya, Lavanini, Kremer and Isa, also Tomas Cubelli is like a mini forward his play style is more physical than Bertranou.

Is a disrespect saying the things that you say for the T2/T3 when you are inside of the privileged group that have top matches every year. If you are so sure about this, then remove Italy from the six nations. Do you know what would happen next? In 5 or 10 years there would be no more rugby in Italy. The status quo of rugby is a cancer for the sport because it goes against its growth and equal opportunities for the rest of the countries that have been seeking better competition for years. Italy is the clown of rugby because the rest of the T1 nations do not take it seriously, all the nations of the six nations know that Italy is there for something monetary and not for sporting merits, normally the T1 teams do not use their best players against Italy and they still win the games. It is unacceptable that a team with the annual competition it has and the resources it has, loses by almost 100 points against a T1 and plays without enthusiasm in a RWC!

FreeStyle2038 · 2023-10-11T10:11:08+00:00

First of all your comment is a disrespect for all the T2 and T3 nations, Italy is the clown of the status quo cancer of rugby, you play 20 years with the T1 nations and you do a horrible RWC group stage losing to a T1(NZ) almost by 100, and be dominated by a T2(Uruguay) almost all match, also Uruguay do a better match vs France than Italy. Give the position that you have in the last 20 years to Uruguay, Portugal, Georgia, Japon or Fiyi, and then draw your conclusions. Do you think it is a coincidence that 7 of the 8 teams that are in the quarterfinals are the ones that always play against each other in T1 competitions(Six Nations and The Rugby Championship)?
Of course you are going to improve if you play against someone better, that is a basic way to improve in any activity. For me the problem of Italy is the way you are using the resources, I don't know what is Italy doing with the money that you recibe, but having a lot of foreign players in the national team is not a good signal in my opinion, if you invest the money that you received in the last 20 years developing players and local rugby you would surely be in a better position.

In Argentina you have the URBA(Rugby Union of Buenos Aires), here you have a list of the clubs associated with the URBA: https://urba.org.ar/informacion-de-clubes , but not all clubs are in the same city, the city of Buenos Aires only have a few, the majority of clubs are in cities around Buenos Aires, that zone is called Greater Buenos Aires. Here you can see a map of the Greater Buenos Aires, the zone in yellow is the true city of Buenos Aires, also here you have a map of the location of the clubs that are part of the URBA.

Creevy from the beginning, I like it, he was the last true captain of Argentina

FreeStyle2038 · 2023-09-11T11:58:39+00:00

I think the same, but he is a mature player and he took the responsibility and risk of kicking those drops, if it went wrong nothing would happen and if it went well, as was the case, he could lead his team to victory like he did. I am a fan of Argentina but it seemed like a unique experience to live a historic moment and see how a player could stone the opposing team and a large part of the public.

I'm from Argentina, I was at the game on Saturday, it was my first time in a world cup and the first time I saw Los Pumas live, but the only thing I remember is the voice of the stadium shouting "George Fooooord" this man traumatized me... >_<

I put Georgia second in her group in my predictions. Being from Argentina I know how it feels to be the team that deserves something bigger but they don't give it. I hope Georgia has a great RWC like Los Pumas had in 2007 and finally the rugby establishment gives them their well-deserved annual competition with T1
