Historic Facts: During their first overseas tour, in Southern Africa, reporters were trying to devise a catchy nickname for the team similar to existing international team nicknames such as All Blacks, Springboks, and Wallabies. One of them saw the picture of an animal on the UAR crest; however, he thought it was a puma instead of the actual jaguar. The mistake stuck, and was eventually adopted by the Argentines themselves (although the UAR crest still depicts a jaguar).
The Pumas defeated the Junior Springboks in Johannesburg 11-6, During their first overseas tour in 1965! The Argentina National Rugby Team is currently the top rugby union team in the Americas! They proved that on July 9, defeating Uruguay 26 - 0 in a Round 3a match during 2007 Rugby World Cup - Americas qualification. Being their second win during that stage, Argentina moved directly into the 2007 World Cup, taking the Americas 1 position. They joined Pool D, along with hosts France and Ireland and proved once and for all that they are an international power when they won their pool, arguably the toughest in the tournament, and went on to take 3rd place in the whole tournament, their greatest finish ever.
