Proper post later

But I just needed to post this quote from Mario Ledesma, now ex-Argentine rugby player. Thanks to his (and Roncero and several others) efforts, Argentina now have a place in the Tri-Nations (which is now the 4 Nations) and he said this [bolding mine] - >>Argentina's veterans are predicting a bright future for the Pumas when they join an expanded Tri-Nations competition next year. The 2007 semi-finalists lost 33-10 to New Zealand in the last eight on Sunday. "We've lasted up until now and we're quite proud of what we've done," said 38-year-old hooker Mario Ledesma, who was making his final bow in Test rugby. "We wanted to build this team and instill values on the field, as we think that it's very important to properly represent the Argentine flag. The leaders who are staying behind know the work that's still to be done. It's a hard task but they largely have the capacity to do it. When you see the likes of (lock) Patricio Albacete and (back-rower) Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, they are much more talented players than us, and among the best in the world."<<

Is that not just the most lovely thing to say?!
