[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 425111, member: 44360"] There was an intention for the top club sides the winner of the CRC and the winner of the Agrentine provinces with a US team and possibly Uruguayan, Chilean etc. to face off in the ARC( Americas's Rugby Championship) but this has kind of stalled and instead we have seen merely select teams facing off against one another. Some Argetine clubs have come an toured Canada for pre-season contests Salta Province came up this year and had a couple of great games with the Rock and Blues.
