[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 469120, member: 40658"] Melhor time forgot about the Pampas XV who plays in the vodacom cup in SA which is an Argentina based team. While I'm all for Argentina joining the SH powerhouses in an annual tournament, I get the feeling they will be introduced to a hard reality, just like Italy in the 6 Nations tournament in the beginning. What will be a positive for the Argentinians though is the fact that a lot of their guys play in the Heineken cup so the time difference in SA won't be of any effect if they come from the NH directly. SA and Argentina also have the same type of pitches, ie, hard under foot, which might be to their advantage. the Big negative though is, the travelling. it's gonna be a real *****! every team is basically going to go 360 degrees around the globe in the southern hemisphere part.
