Condero says Felipe Contepomi has made a huge impact and it can be seen in Argentina’s results
“It was tough, the knee still needed some time, and I think I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to play well in those few games,” he admitted, adding: “But the club, the staff and players were very good with me, helping me a lot. I think now I’m in a better moment or position than a couple of months before when I was playing with Connacht. I’m happy to be here but also can’t wait for after these couple of games to go back and play for them.
“Santi” hasn’t had much of a rest but this should be outweighed by the evident boost to his confidence from being called up by Felipe Contepomi to an environment they all clearly love. Like many modern day Argentinian players they were inspired to take up rugby or pursue the sport more seriously by the past deeds of boyhood heroes at World Cups which, of course, have included three wins over Ireland, and Cordero was an impressionably 14-year-old when the 2007 vintage came along – Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe , Agustin Pichot, Juan Martín Hernández, Contepomi et al.
