I forgot to remark in my yesterday’s comment, thanks as well to our dear Scottish team, just to remember some names of those who are great friends and play with some of our Pumas, the captain Jason White (a former Argentine Puma was Tom White), Lawson, Barclay, Rory and Sean Lamont a great and unique player and a good friend of many Pumas (we have here a huge Lamont family who play rugby at Saint Andrew’s School and rugby club), Chris Paterson, Simon Webster and Taylor among many others, thanks to the exceptional Irish team with whom we have close ties. All of them had supported our team, in spite of being defeated by The Pumas, they deserve all our esteem and high degree of respect, they are true gentlemen and the know what fair play means in the best of its senses, they are great players and wonderful people. I hope that some of the Scottish, Irish, English and perhaps some All Blacks and Aussies players will come to Buenos Aires, for the farewell match who will be organized by Agustin Pichot in a few months from now, he is giving up his rugby career to start a new professional life, enjoying much more his wife and daughters, you will be very much welcome in Buenos Aires, and you can take if for granted that we will show to you all our hospitality, take it for granted. By the way, what do you think about the final between England and the Boks, in my opinion was poor rugby lots of work for the defence, fullbacks and others, too many kicks and drops and mauls and a try, which wasn’t, what a pity for England that mistake, but I was hopping much more from Jonny Wilkinson ’s boys and where was the English coach, hidden for sure. The worst final ever, the real one was last Friday between our Pumas and Les Bleus, was spectacular, like an Alfred Hitchcock movie with lots of suspense and intrigue, but finally our Pumas had show their class and superiority. But well done Springboks, in spite of such awful match you won, and I must congratulate you. Yes we must play with other Southern Hemisphere countries soon if not Scotland, Ireland and England will propose us to play in Europe, we have a great temptation to accept such offer, considering our own background and that most of our players, some 70 % are playing in England, Scotland, Ireland and France, and as I said before many times they supported us much more than anyone else including our own national authorities who do not care about rugby, I mean our "dear President Kirchner" and his wife, for them rugby is still for the elite, in spite that we have almost twenty thousands players in Argentina right now.
