Argentina had a well-deserved reputation for indiscipline on the rugby field that often cost them dearly in test encounters, but this year they have turned that on its head in the Rugby Championship.

A recent poll found that attitudes toward the pope in six of Latin America's most populous countries are still broadly positive everywhere but in Argentina.

Pope Francis is still widely popular in several Latin American countries. But the portion of people who still see him favorably in his native Argentina has plunged by almost 30 percentage points in a decade.
