Moroni ready to run or release Pumas backline talent

REUTERS: Argentina's shift from a tight-five dominated game to a more cavalier attacking style has been marked over the last decade and centre Matias Moroni epitomises a new breed of backs happy to run at the opposition.

Inside him will be the battle-hardened halfback partnership of Tomas Cubelli and Nicolas Sanchez along with uncompromising Jaguares captain Jeronimo de la Fuente. The Argentina back three are a potent attacking threat, not just out wide but with the angles they run either off the blindside wing or cutting back across the defences.Such is Argentina's depth in this part of the game that Ledesma was unable to find room in his squad for Juan Imhoff or Santiago Cordero, one of the standout players in the run to the semi-finals four years ago.

"Against France, we’re going to play one of the most important matches of our careers so our minds are on that," Moroni told reporters before the team left for Japan via a Sydney training camp.Argentina famously beat the French in Paris in the opening match of the 2007 World Cup as a team including Ledesma started a journey that would end up with a first run to the semi-finals.
