[color="Navy"][/Dear Luke, rugby is everywhere in Argentina in these days, I imagine is too late in the evening in Scotland, but I must tell for my surprise last weekend when you were playing with our dear Pumas, the Argentine Football Association postponed the match between Boca Juniors (Maradona's club, who I don't like him as a person) and River Plate for two hours, so football fans were in possition to watch the game in Paris from their TV's. Most newspapers, La Nacion, Clarin, Buenos Aires Herald, Argentisches Tageblatt, La Voix de la France, and dozens of others they published monday morning the outcome of the match, hardly was possible to find anyone in the streets during the game, which started at 4 pm our time. So you are a 5 of handicap, for Christ sake that's wonderful you are a scratch. I love golf, changes my mood and makes me enjoy the golf court of our Jockey Club or the Hurlingham Club in Buenos Aires, I am terrible lazy playing, not as good as you are. I am amaze how many young guys are playing now, you find just teenagers playing wonderfully. But rugby and polo are for me a must. Quite a pitty that you cannot play polo in Scotland, here in our pampas, is cheaper than Europe we have registered some three thousand players, many of them play polo in England and the USA during their season. I went once to Cowdray Park and Cirencester to see friends playing in England with Princes William and Harry. So if you come here you will feel like being at home. Back to rugby I am afraid that our players are extremely tired, is what our press is saying, I had spoken with Felipe's brother a Catholic priest, he said that they will do their best and they will try to win, in spite of all what they had done up to now, remember that this is the first tournament in which they reached semi-finals. South Africans are much better prepare for these circumstances. Thanks againCOLOR]
