It is also the way they stalk and subdue their opponents that has invited attention ahead of their maiden Super rugby clash against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Friday.They lost to the Stormers but put nearly 50 points on a severely depleted Lions team in another warm-up match Friday last week. It wasn't so much the result or points they racked up as the methods they employed that drew interest."We had a close look at how they [the Pumas] beat the Springboks last year and there are lots of similarities," said Lions assistant coach Swys de Bruin."They build their game around quick ball and the way they play is completely different from the traditional way we have come to expect from Argentinian teams."Indeed it was former All Blacks coach Graham Henry's intervention - when he served as consultant to the Pumas after they entered the Rugby Championship - that served as catalyst.Banished were the days when Argentina relied on the slow poison of their forwards and the stinging body blows from a reliable place kicker.The current crop are endowed with fit-for-purpose skills.

Having said that, travel has become less of a factor over the past few years."The Cheetahs, meanwhile, are a team that is desperate to break with the stereotypical rugby that has dogged their recent past...
