New Zealand's Rugby World Cup-winning coach Graham Henry has signed as a consultant for Argentina, who embark on their debut season in a top-level tournament this year. The Pumas face New Zealand, Australia and South Africa in the southern hemisphere's new four-nation Rugby Championship between August 18 and October 6. The Argentine Rugby Union (UAR) said on Wednesday that Henry, whose All Blacks won New Zealand's second World Cup last year, would advise Argentina on how to improve coaching at their high-performance centres. "[Henry's] task will be to give his technical advice. He likes Argentina, the feeling of Argentine players [for the game] and he'll help players take a leap in quality," said Manuel Galindo, head of the UAR's high-performance rugby sub-committee. He's going to work with the trainers, doing coaching." Henry was quoted by the UAR as saying: "For seven weeks of the year, my role will be to give the high-performance team and their trainers an idea of what it takes to create a national programme that will make the team more competitive at international level."
