Their time in New Zealand hasn’t been good either, losing all of their 15 Tests against the All Blacks, each by a margin of at least 15 points. At one level below Test rugby, in Super Rugby, their Jaguares, despite comprising the best of their home-based internationals, have not done that much better, winning only 11 games from 30 in two seasons. In the last Super Rugby, the Jaguares did not play against any NZ opposition. NZ has five Super Rugby franchises, Argentina only one and that alone limits the number of good players who can play their game at home. The Melbourne Rebels player comes into the Test reckoning after having played only a total of 28 minutes of Super Rugby in three matches.
