A team which has ensured its presence in Rugby World Cup ever since 1987, Argentina is one of the names to reckon with in Pool D. Argentina team is widely remembered and honored for their performance against Samoa in 1991 and 1995. Coached by Alex Wyllie, Argentinian team sports a few senior and acclaimed players including, Agustin Pichot, Hugo Porta and Federico Todeschini, the place kicker.
Rugby lovers can witness the Pumos – as the Argentinian team is widely called – relying mainly on forwards when they play against host France in the opening game and during their encounters with other prominent teams in the same Pool. Though ranked 5th during their entry into the World Cup, Argentina does not figure in any of the lists of probable champions for this year.
