[QUOTE="saulan, post: 797663, member: 60236"] That should never be an argument for someone to get to the required level. To get to the required level you perform well in lower leagues or divisions and work your way up (such as other club/ leagues in Argentina). You get tested when you are deemed to be there or there abouts. An example of what you are suggesting is the Kings in Currie Cup and Super Rugby. Moreso in Currie Cup. They didn't earn their position in the premier division, it was forced upon them and people said that they aren't being given the opportunity, put them in the top league (even though they weren't good enough to win the second division). Now they are still terrible but they can't be dropped from the top division. It hasn't gained them any fans, it has just gained them disdain and no one believes in them or think they deserve it. If you force it on a ref who hasn't shown they are up to standard, the most likely outcome is everyone thinking you're incompetent and no one really respecting you (and since they would most likely be the first Argentinian, people may label Argentinian refs as poor overall). Steve Walsh comes to mind. [/QUOTE]
