[QUOTE="unrated, post: 945223, member: 45773"] But its fine if they are a national team playing Super rugby, it improves the quality of the competition. We all knew it would only be a matter of time before a team such as the Jags playing together for a long time would become very competitive, i have written about this on this forum for years now. The idea was long term success and its working to a degree now and i hope it pays of for them in the world cup. My dream is an all SH Semi finals again to show those poaching Europeans whats the difference between rugby talent and money. And lets not forget that with all due respect Argentina is not a traditional rugby country or powerhouse for that matter, if they were divided up then they would not have been able to be as competitive as NZ, SA and AUS because lets be honest between those three they have won 7 out of the 8 world cups to date, to expect a new rugby nation such as Arentina to compete with those nations in one of the tougest club rugby comps in the world without any kind of advantage or support system to get them competitive. They would be like two or three sunwolves teams being demolished every week if they divided up. It would take something special and that something special is the Jagaures consisting of basically the Argintinean national team. Let them slowly build this up and in 5 or so years when the traditions has been established in their mainstream schools and in the hearts of the public to go and support them en masse then we can start talking about adding another ARG franchise. And then they all might actually be competitive. Until then lets hope the Jaguares builds a strong rugby culture in Argentina [/QUOTE]
