El Magico ‘is going to get even better’

ARGENTINA’S director of rugby Les Cusworth is convinced the best is yet to come from Juan Martin Hernandez, the Pumas fly-half dubbed rugby’s Maradona.

Hernandez, 25, and teammate Felipe Contepomi, 30, are the first Argentina players to be nominated for the International Rugby Board’s player of the year award.

They have been key figures in the Pumas’ rise to an unprecedented fourth place in the world rankings and a first World Cup semi-final appearance. But Cusworth, the former England fly-half, insists this is only the beginning for Hernandez.
