Facing World Class Nations is the best thing for PUMAS

Comment: The inclusion of Los Pumas (Argentina) in the Tri-Nation (now the Four Nations) is one of the best things ever happened to South American Rugby, a region known mainly for Soccer, but particularly for Argentina.
I just watched the Los Pumas taking on the world top ranked national squad, the All Blacks of New Zealand, and I could only say that the Pumas earned their place by taking it to two of the world's best teams; Springboks (South Africa) and the All Blacks (New Zealand). The All Blacks ranked 1st and South African ranked 2nd, while Argentina is on the 10th spot, but their scorelines against the Pumas are less impressive and their Pumas took it straight to them in world class performances since their inaugural appearances. With their players playing in European Rugby clubs, PUMAS' future looks extremely impressive and a rising danger against world class teams, not only in the Southern Hemisphere but also in Europe. And I have no doubt that the Pumas will be a tough team in the next decade as they learn from their mistakes and how to fight it out against the world's finest teams.
