Argentina Announce 30-man Squad World Cup Rugby 2011

RWC 2011

Argentinian coach Santiago Phelan has announced the 30 players who will participate to the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand between 9 September and 23 October. As expected, one of their stars, half-back  Juan Martin Hernandez, who plays in French Top 14 for Racing Métro, has been omitted following a knee injury which kept him away from the rugby fields for most of the 2010-2011 season. Santiago Phelan considered that, “despite all his efforts, he had little chance to be with us as we have trained with Felipe Contepomi as n 10?.

Felipe Contepomi (Stade Français) has been named captain of a team which will have a strong French influence as 20 of the 30 players are currently enrolled by teams playing Top 14 rugby. Following their recent victory against a Sudamerica XV outfit, Argentina will play their next and last pre-RWC test against Wales on 20 August (Cardiff).

RUGBY WORLD CUP 2011 BY DYNAMIC FORCE NEWS AND TELECAST ENGLAND VS SCOTLAND

england vs scotland rugby 2011

In  B group of the Rugby World Cup 2011 we have some very solid teams and this can also be labeld as the group of death as England, Scotland and Argentina are in the same group other two teams are Romania and Georgia are the other two teams which makes it 5 teams in this group.

England are the strongest unit and the favourite to win the group, but the race for the 2nd place is wide open as Scotland are not in best of the forms and Argentina might be a team who can surprise them. We predict Engalnd as the winners of the Groupwhile Scotland coming as the runnerup.

World Cup 2011 Pool B
Teams	MP	W	D	L	NR	NRR	PTS
Argentina	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
England	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Georgia	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Romania	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Scotland	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

Scotland started playing rugby Back in 1871 and they have been part of the Cups since very long. Although their performces in the RWC  blow par, theri best the any of the World CUps they have been part of is the 4th placed finish in the 1991. Since than they do chok at the big moment which is kind of bad for them.

They are placed in the group B with the likes of England, Argentina, Georgia and Romani. This group is kind of where they might struggle but on paper they should just sealed through to round. What we expect is a runner up place for them behind 2003 Champions England. Only Argentina is the team which might trouble them but apart from that its easy we have to say.

England are team playing on top of their game for the last couple of years and they are one of the favourites to go all the way in the World Cup 2011 and it will be interesting to see how this years event goes about. England won the World Cup in 2003 and since than Rugby in England has been a very famous sport after Football, every year they play in the 6 nations and other big matches.

England has finished runnerups in two occasions, in 1991 and again in 2007 when they lost against South Africa in the Final of the Rugby World Cup. England played two Warmup matches against Wales recently and they were no overly convincing to say the least, as at home they won it with a very narrow margin and got defeated against Wales in Cardiff in convincing fashion which leaves quite a few question marks over their ability to perform at the highest level.

Samoa Rugby Team Squad World Cup 2011

Samoa, they are often called Manu Samoa and they are one of the most followed teams around, this country just love their Rugby although they havnt been much successfull but they do perform a traditional Samoan challenge called the siva tau before each game just like the All Blacks do before the start of the match. THey have been playing the rugby since 1920 and it will be interesting to see how this World Cup goes about for them. Michael Jones was the coach when they competed in the World CUp 2007 but as we all know they had horrific World CUp and in their grou they had USA, South Africa and England. They could only get 1 win and had to qualify for the World CUp 2011 by going through the playoffs. Although they defeated the Papua New Guinea with ease to make it to the finals.

World Cup History:

Springboks uphold pre-World Cup sandbag tradition

There are only six weeks until the world’s top teams descend upon New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup. Throughout the next month, all of the participants will be taking part in their tune-up matches.

This slate of August tests serves a dual purpose for teams and their coaches. First, they offer a final opportunity for the agonizing 30-man roster selections ahead of the August 22nd deadline. Plus, they are a great chance for teams to work on their continuity before the main event begins. Or …. It is a perfect stretch of time to let your top players rest while the second-string gets a run.

That third move is the now famous, yet contentious, South African Springbok pre-World Cup strategy. In a ploy now familiar to international rugby fans, the Springboks have decided to rest 23 of their probable 30-man World Cup roster for the first part of the Tri Nations series between the ‘Boks, the New Zealand All Blacks and the Australia Wallabies.

Though there are those that can sympathize with resting players before the World Cup after a brutal 21-week Super Rugby campaign, the Tri Nations contract mandates that all three sides put their most competitive teams on the field. Of course teams have a right to rehabilitate injured players, but 23? Even people from New Orleans would have to admire this level of sandbagging! What makes it more dubious is that they’ve done it before.

Current Springbok coach Peter De Villiers is simply lifting a page from former ‘Bok boss Jake White’s book. In 2007, White sent a second team to all of the Tri Nations away matches, while his first team stayed home for a rigorous regimen of naps and massage. New Zealand and Australia almost cancelled the remaining Tri Nations matches that year as a protest, but reconsidered due to ticketing and broadcasting complications.

That year, the South African Rugby Union (SARU) sent a medical report from a “sport scientist” that said if SA sent their injured players to the remaining Tri Nations matches, they may as well not even send a team to the World Cup. This year, SARU claims that “players need immediate rehabilitation to avoid the risk of breakdown.” You mean, some guys are tired. And the Australians and Kiwis aren’t?

Look, there’s nothing wrong with resting injured players, but there is something wrong with lying about the severity of their afflictions. Unless we are including ingrown hairs and hangovers as injuries, it seems highly improbable that 23 Springbok players are unable to take the field.

Consider, by contrast, that New Zealand has four players currently unavailable, while Australia has six. De Villiers has maintained that Super Rugby wrecked his team. C’mon Pete, it’s rugby. If it hurts to get out of bed, and the limp won’t go away until the Advil kicks in, you don’t get to call in sick.

By the way, the winner of the 2007 Rugby World Cup: South Africa.
