die argentinische nationalmannschaft streikt. hintergrund ist wohl, das die argentinische union durch misswirtschaft pleite ist und saemtliche unterstuetzung gestrichen hat. schriftliche erklaerung (in spanisch), debatte im IRB forum

hier ein auszug aus dem spanischen text ins englische uebersetzt: "Desde las cosas básicas para mejorar hasta llegar a crear un fondo solidario; único en la historia de cualquier deporte de conjunto. Admirado por los capitanes de Inglaterra, Gales, Francia; diciéndonos: "¿Cómo van a compartir así? ¿Cómo lo lograron?". Lo logramos. Logramos sacar las diferencias entre amateurs y profesionales. Logramos unir a un equipo cuando todo parecía quebrarse. "

From the most basic thing to improve we got to a point where we created a common fund; the only one in the history of any team sport. Admired by England, Wales and France captains. Telling us. "How could you share like that? How do you made it?" We did it. We were able to take out the differences between amateurs and professionals. We were able to unite a team when everything around us seemed to fall down.

"Arriving at the pitch, scores of thin, barefoot children, in ragged clothing with close-cropped hair would greet us and immediately begin to work – carrying bags, lining up the balls, pads and water jugs.

Always smiling, always patient..... "I’m hungry" they would say, smiling, as they handed you a ball or jogged out with water. We shared our food or bought them food at the clubhouse, but in the end what they really wanted was for us to watch them play rugby."
