Argentina training for the Rugby World Cup and interviews with Santiago Phelan, Rodrigo Roncero, Felipe Contepomi, Andres Bordoy and Marcos Ayerza.

Santiago Phelan saying: "There is no equation that says you have to play a lot or fewer games before a World Cup. But I think Argentina is well prepared. We are happy with the preparation. I would have liked to have played one more test match but it is the reality of rugby and the important thing is to optimize each game we play."

Rodrigo Roncero saying: "It does Argentina no good to start thinking about the last game in Georgia in the quarterfinals, or even the first game. I think our mentality and our thoughts have to be only thinking about England which is September 10. I think there will be time to think afterwards. But if we start the World Cup well; if we start with a good game against England, I think we can change a lot of things."

Felipe Contepomi saying: "It is a very exciting time for anyone who is a part of this Pumas team and hopefully we have a good start to keep on going."

Andres Bordoy saying: "There are players who are going to bring their experience from 2007 and at the same time we have youngsters full of hunger and they could be the missing piece of the puzzle."

Marcos Ayerza saying: "I think that if we put a lot of pressure on their middle pair (inside backs), if they don't work well because they not confident or under a lost of pressure, things will not go well. We can say that if the middle pair (inside backs) don't play well the whole backline does not play well and this true of the England because they depend a lot on Youngs and Flood. The key will be there - to put a lot of pressure on them. They will be under big pressure to win this opening match."
