Should the Pumas enter the 6nations tournament..?

Question

(Sorry but were have already had a world cup....so i guess its a no.)

Answer 1

Oh please. it's not very practical is it? That would mean opposing teams would either have to travel to Argentina (4'000+ miles away) for away matches, or Argentina play away matches in France (a lot of players  ply their trade in Argentina). Besides, what is wrong with playing with Southern Hemisphere teams like South Africa, Australia and New Zealand? If they want to be a World-class team, they need to be in regular competitive competition with the best teams in the World. Furthermore, why not have a South American Tri-Nations with Uruguay and Chile or possibly a 6 Nations for regular match practice? There are alternatives.

Answer 2

whats the matter argentina dont wont to come and play rugby with the southern hemisphere teams? is our rugby to rough and fast  for you ? youd rather go and play old man rugby in the six nations? could you imagine how good an argentinian rugby side could be by playing  the all blacks the aussies and the bokkes evry year  they would go into a world cup and just destroy  teams but if they would rather play in the six nations if they think playing old man northern hemisphere rugby is appealing to them than let them  it dont bother me the All blacks will still  run them to peices any day

Answer 3

No. I think it is only fair for them to take part in the 3N. Reason is that is will put the SH at level and make the Pumas stronger.

Answer 4

yes because they proved themselves on the biiggest stage by knocking out nz

so they shud b rewarded

Answer 5

What's wrong with the Tri Nations or aren't we good enough.

Answer 6

The Pumas did not knock out NZ the French did in Cardiff Andy H. Anyway they would perhaps be better off in 6 nations as there is less time differential to the likes of New Zealand & Australia than Europe which would make travel much easier. Also most of the players are based in Europe so would be better logistically to get the team into the best shape possible. However Tri-NAtions boasts I think the 3 best teams in the world, and Argentina although probably would be less competitive down-under they would gain more in the way of knowledge and skills. Also the South Africans are current WOrld Champs, the Australians are a very talented side and the All Blacks are still the number 1 brand in World Rugby. This would mean potentially larger revenues. Anyway they deserve/need to be a part of one of these competitions if the game is to truly become international.
