With 16 test match tries from 33 caps, Juan Imhoff has an excellent strike rate. He was a Puma from 2010-2015, with politics rather than merit restricting his time with the test side. His final cap came a week before that of Horacio Agulla, a Pumas winger from 2005-2015. In 63 caps, Agulla scored 6 tries.
Imhoff is the all-time leading Argentine try scorer at RWCs with 7 tries. His overall strikerate was again excellent as his 7 RWC tries came in 10 RWC matches. In comparison, Agulla scored 2 RWC tries in 14 RWC appearances.
Imhoff’s try against Tonga was a memorable team score. It came from a kick-off. Santiago Cordero received the kick and ran upfield, beating three defenders in the process. He off-loaded to Guido Petti who took the tackle. Quick ball and three passes saw Imhoff getting put into a half gap. He used his feet and speed to do the rest and he ran over to score. Diego Maradona was among those who erupted in delight to the try.
