[QUOTE="Soulforged, post: 158033"] [/quote] Well it certainly won't be for 2008 as the schedules for the matches have already been released so there won't be any changes at this stage. Even if Argentina were to be considered for an expanded 7 Nations tournament it would be unlikely to happen until 2013 as a new TV deal with the BBC has been signed recently meaning that it would have to be renegotiated which I doubt they'd be too keen on.
