[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 759745, member: 12699"] Tony, it seems we now have two things we agree on. I and the rest of the T2 nations would prefer our players go back to their clubs. We don't have the depth some of your teams do and a lot of our best players are forced to play every game. Between the warmups and the pool games, they are knackered and the last thing we need is them getting injured and losing their contracts at their clubs. There is little imperative to sign our players if they are unavailable for half the year when they can go find a local who is just as good and isn't involved in the national team. To add to this, we've begun to see European clubs display an unwillingness to sign Argentinian players due to their large international calendar. I remain unconvinced that Argentina isn't shooting themselves in the foot by playing in the Rugby Championship. They are where they are due to the large number of players playing in the French Leagues. One pro team is not enough to sustain the National team. [/QUOTE]
