The Top 5 Puma Power Moments of All Time

Comments

The preview image to this video might be a little misleading, and as much as we'd like to see a Top 5 Chabal Moments clip (take note, Sean), this Rugby HQ Top 5 features top quality tries and great play from Los Pumas, Argentina over the years.

They take it way back to show Hugo Porta slotting drop kicks off both feet, feature the famous try scored in the 2007 Rugby World Cup against France, and we get to relive Martin Landajo's sensational score in 2012. Señor Maloney even weighs in with a bit of Spanish.

The Wallabies host Argentina on the Gold Coast tomorrow, with the visitors looking to spring an upset after some physically imposing performances so far in this year's Rugby Championship.

    Cheapest of cheap shots, but he belted his head clean off his shoulders.

    No place for that in Rugby, but still a step above Harinordoquy hammering Horwill 10 times, or McRae whacking ROG 11.

    Apart from Chabal in D2, I don't think I've seen a clean knockout in rugby. Sheridan was put on his arse by Julian White, but he got straight back up. Ackford was pure Bambi.

    Cheap, nasty, scummy blindside hit, but a 19 year old vs 33 yr old warhorse, that took some power.

    What I think is completely unforgivable is that no one smashed the Argentinian at 2:43...

    ...These moments don't come every day, I cannot believe an opportunity like that was missed.

    That would have been a TSRB episode of it's own!...speaking of which, RD next one?

    Yeah I remember that one. What a scumbag. I don't have a major problem with the odd dust-up in rugby but to blindside a bloke like that is just cowardly.

    Nice moments! There are some interesting moments missing.. like Albanece try against Ireland in rwc 1999 or Marcelo Campos try jumping over an english player.
    Cheers.

    Great selection! Such pride and passion within the game.

    Perhaps for the next Top 5... Top 5 Waterworks/Cry-babies? When I think of the Pumas, all I can picture is the tight 5 from RWC2007 bawling their eyes out during the anthems, do any other countries go for it as much as the Pumas do?
