Former Argentina Captain Agustin Pichot made a try-scoring debut for the Pumas against Australia in 1995. He then in a terrific career went on to make 71 Test caps up until 2008, playing in three world cups. The vibrant scrum-half first Skippered the side in 2000 and is most remembered for his major contribution to his country’s third-place finish at the World Cup in 2007. Pichot was then inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame alongside 18 other key figures in the history of the Rugby World Cup.
