[QUOTE="AM_Bokke, post: 874403, member: 76028"] Yeah, I think that SANZAAR, as the owner of both the Rugby Championship and Super Rugby, probably likes the selection policy: it keeps top players in their competitions. I wouldn't be surprised if not allowing European based players to selected for the Pumas was a condition of Arg getting (and keeping) a Super Rugby team. It's tough for the Pumas and Boks due to their 2nd world economies but I think that only allowing Super Rugby players to play in the national sides is in the best long term interests of SH rugby. It has also worked for New Zealand, whereas overseas selection hasn't exactly worked for the Boks, IHMO. I do think that Super Rugby should have one open player market between all participating unions though. [/QUOTE]
