Apart from Wales, my favourite rugby team is Argentina, because I like Argentines on the whole anyway and I want somewhere from the Spanish-speaking world to do well in the sport.

Wonder if Yanks hold that sport in a similarly poor regard as they do with soccer.

Ever since the US hosted the Football World Cup in 1994, soccer has actually taken off there considerably, and Major League Soccer isn't that bad a standard. Furthermore, don't forget that the US female soccer team is the best in the world nowadays. On the other hand, while there is now a Major League Rugby tournament in the US too, the country is still not exactly impressive in the sport and did not even qualify for the World Cup that is currently going on in France.

Thank you to dedícate a post to the argentine rugby national team, friend.
To be fair with some exceptions like this last time against Wales, Pumas achieve some surprising results, but in the crucial stages it's different.
And of course against the All Blacks everybody know which will be the result...
But really a 4th place is awesome for us.
Rugbier fans are really happy today with this championship although in the first games the team showed an erratic level and performance.
Argentine Rugby is amateur until now, so it's harder because the national team needs to enlist many players who are in other legues right now.
As I said in the other thread, the real hero of this championship is the australian coach Michael Cheika.
He is very clever and wise to "read" the matches and he has a lot of skills that local coaches haven't.
For that reason is really sad the fact he is going to leave the team after the cup... but anyway...

P.s.: Thinking about this I remember something very interesting you mentioned one time.
Is curious the fact that how Argentina follow british sports (rugby, hockey, modern polo) while the bulk of the population have south european mediterranean+colonial (iberian + native) origin....
But economic links were strong with UK in post-colonial times, and apart of that the british made our railways.
That could explain many things about all this.
