BUENOS AIRES, March 7 (Reuters) – New Zealand’s rugby
\nWorld Cup-winning coach Graham Henry has signed as a consultant
\nfor Argentina, who embark on their debut season in a top-level
\ntournament this year.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pumas face New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in
\nthe southern hemisphere’s new four-nation Rugby Championship
\nbetween Aug. 18 and Oct. 6.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Argentine Rugby Union (UAR) said on Wednesday that
\nHenry, whose All Blacks won New Zealand’s second World Cup last
\nyear, would advise Argentina on how to improve coaching at their
\nhigh-performance centres.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“(Henry’s) task will be to give his technical advice. He
\nlikes Argentina, the feeling of Argentine players (for the game)
\nand he’ll help players take a leap in quality,” said Manuel
\nGalindo, head of the UAR’s high-performance rugby sub-committee.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s going to work with the trainers, doing coaching.”<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Henry was quoted by the UAR as saying: “For seven weeks of
\nthe year, my role will be to give the high-performance team and
\ntheir trainers an idea of what it takes to create a national
\nprogramme that will make the team more competitive at
\ninternational level.
