Reading: Pichot plays from the heart

*Read the article and do the activities below: (March 15th 2008)

The little general: Argentina's Agustín Pichot rallies his troops

PARIS, 11 October - Argentina have been one of the surprise packages of the tournament, winning their pool and advancing to the semi-finals for the first time at a rugby world cup.At the core of their success is scrum half Agustín Pichot, who wears the captain's badge with honour and his heart on his sleeve.At his fourth world cup, equalling Pedro Sporleder's Argentina record, Pichot has seen the Pumas evolve from under-performers to be ranked fourth in the world."In '99 there were political problems involved," Pichot said. "That certainly taught me how to behave as a captain and a player. It taught me discipline, order and a great love of the game."And then (coach) Marcelo (Loffreda) joined us and he gave something else to our game."Pichot, Argentina's fifth most-capped player (69) after making his debut in 1995, is quick to deflect any praise and credits the Pumas' squad strength for their recent success. "This team is more than just a (Juan Martín) Hernández or a (Felipe) Contepomi," he said. "I have been playing in the national team for several years and it's hard to find a group with such well-defined goals."

Pichot's battle on Sunday with in-form South Africa number 9 Fourie du Preez should be intriguing and might well determine the outcome of the match.The 33-year-old from Buenos Aires, who will join Racing Club de France in the second division after the tournament, will rely not only on his tactical nous and brilliant passing game to try to extend the Pumas' world cup-winning streak to six."If we look at the English match, playing well or playing badly, if you play with your heart on your sleeve, it becomes more than just a game."

World, hold on One day you will have to answer to the children of the sky
Children of the sky… alright
Love, Don’t take “no” for an answer, alright
Right here, spread love, everybody join together now

One voice, one heart, love and unity, everybody sayYeah!
World, hold onCome one, everybody in the universe, come on

World, hold onOne day you will have to answer to the children of the sky
World, hold onCome one, everybody in the universe, come on

World, hold onOne day you will have to answer to the children of the sky

Don't Know Why by Norah Jones

I waited 'til I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

I don't know why I didn't comeI don't know why I didn't come


When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching teardrops in my hand


My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever


Out across the endless seaI would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road along


My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind

Forever


Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drumI don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't comeI don't know why I didn't come
