“It is a challenge, because those who were not in July come from a whole season in Europe, of which they had rest and then prepared for this. Generally when you rest and prepare, your first game are not the All Blacks, so it will be a huge challenge for all of them and the effort they make is laudable, because they take very little rest to compete and do everything for the Argentine shirt”Said the coach.

Then amalgamate those who have been playing with those who integrate carry some cohesion of a few days.

And when they come, to have urgency to defend and recover the ball, because they are a very dangerous team, they have power, speed, good game. The All Blacks is traditionally a very difficult team to play for all those variables they have.”

“With the All Blacks, my learning to have played against them, is that you cannot be 1% below your potential because when you go 1% they make you ten points, 2% are 20 and 3% are 40 … That is the reality, because they are a very consistent team, so we try to search is how to do to be 100% all the time and understand that it is a team which at some point in the game hits you.”

“So how we do to return and stand up again and stay in that fight, in a game for the 80 minutes and then see what happens with the result. Our mind happens more to be and really attack them when we have the opportunity. And understand that we can spend some situation that cut you out or they make you a try, but how it is the most important thing.he concluded.
