 Argentina national rugby union team - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After returning to Argentina, the Pumas lost 39-7 to the visiting Springboks of South Africa; however, the Pumas were without 10 regular starters who had returned to their club teams in Europe.
The Argentina national rugby team, nicknamed los Pumas, is currently the top rugby union team in the Americas.
The first rugby union match in Argentina was played in 1873, the game having been brought to South America by the British, although it was only 26 years later, in 1899, that four clubs in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, got together to form the River Plate Rugby Football Union.

The Krfu's secretary-general, Richard Omwela, recently expressed the union's dissatisfaction with the national team's perfomance in the Dubai and Durban sevens.
The team has caught enough fire from the average fan (and will continue to do so), the last thing they need is to be lambasted in public by their very own Union.
If the Union used the large amounts of money they have raked in from Safari Sevens over the past four years strictly for the develoment of the sevens in the country and not on lavish consultancy fees on a few individuals, then we would have fielded a more competitive team.
