Wales go into their Test match against Argentina on Saturday with Iestyn Harris the latest player shouldering the burden of being the saviour of Welsh Rugby.
Harris, 25, a former Great Britain rugby league international, has been handed his international union debut by Kiwi coach Graham Henry after just 200 minutes of rugby this season.

Adding to the pressure is the fact that he will be appearing at flyhalf, a position his compatriots regard with special affection. That's because Harris will be following in the footsteps of such great Wales No 10s as Cliff Morgan, Barry John, Phil Bennett and Jonathan Davies.

If that were not enough, Harris also knows there are critics on both sides of the rugby divide who are waiting for him to fail following his 1.5million pounds (2.25million dollars) move to Cardiff from Leeds rugby league club at the start of this season - a transfer bankrolled by the Welsh Rugby Union.

But Harris, who scored 31 points for Cardiff in his full debut against Glasgow in the European Cup last month, is doing his best to ignore the doubters.

"I am going to play it my way - not everybody else's way," said Harris, the convert from rugby league. "I want to do a good job but to do it the Iestyn Harris way rather than try and copy somebody else's style.

"I want to play a running style of rugby and unleash the backs although I know there are times when I will have to kick it. I am not apprehensive about the weekend. I imagine I will be slightly nervous but I want to enjoy the occasion.

"The most important thing will be the 80 minutes of rugby - you have to play the game, not the occasion."

Harris's fellow former league star Anthony Sullivan will also be making his Wales debut replacing injured wing Shane Williams, who is out with an ankle injury.

In the midst of all the Harris mania, it is easy to forget that Argentina are fielding a side that, on paper, looks to offer them their best chance yet of recording a first win over Wales.

Their entire back division play for European clubs and with their pack, the traditional strength of Argentinian rugby, looking as strong as ever, Wales should have plenty to worry about up front and behind the scrum.

Wales were beaten 36-6 in Cardiff last month by Ireland and another defeat would add to the growing pressure on Henry.
