Let the Argies in to the Tri nations?

Question

Now that the Argentinian team has shown they are good at trugby will the other three southern hemisphere teams let them into the tri nations cup.

They played well and deserve the recognition and the chance to play more international rugby

Answer 1

I hope they are at least invited to participate in the Tri Nations.

Although the Pumas and most people in Argentina including myself would like to see them compete with European teams, sort of an extended Six Nations. Why?

1) Because there is no real geographic sense in this division in NH and SH. A game with NZ or AUS would imply 2 days of travel and the game  would be televised in absurd hours for the visiting team.

2) The Pumas "improved" because now they allow professional players to be part of the team... but most professional players play in Europe and very likely will not be able to compete in the 3 Nations due to schedule conflicts. The level of the Pumas would go down due to this as they would have to compete with a younger and more amateur team. Still good, but do not expect the same results.

3) Argentina could be based in Spain and play the local games there, preventing the other countries from needing to travel, plus having a pretty decent number of local residents supporting them.

4) Argentina is very "close" with Europe due to its roots and type of immigration.

That is very logical form the Argentinean perspective, although the Europeans do not seem to want the Pumas in their competition, sad as it feels like not being accepted where you want to belong, but they are so avid to compete at the top level that they would take anything, including something that does not really make a lot of sense.

woonoel, you should stick to the Singles & Dating Q&A, you do much better there. Not sure where your hate against the argies come from, I hope you are not just one sore looser.
