NOBODY HAS GIVEN more to Argentine rugby than outhalf Hugo Porta. He made his debut for Los Pumas in 1971 and played for Argentina for 19 years, captained them for 13 and scored 590 points over 58 tests.
Total Rugby did a pretty cool feature with Porta, and the former playmaker talks about why he chose to leave the game of rugby forever and why he thinks Argentina needs to focus on more aspects of the game than just the scrum.
Turning down the possibility of a football career in Argentina during the golden era of the 70′s and 80′s was a pretty big call but Porta still had a legendary rugby career. Take a look at these highlights of Porta to get a sense as to why he made the decision to play rugby.
