[QUOTE="CocoPampas, post: 841554, member: 73969"] A global calendar isn't going to happen any time soon. And this time slot was selected to give USA and Canada a good argument to request their players from european clubs (if the clubs can release their players for the Six Nations why the can't do it to USA and Canada?). Actually, I though that you were selecting some of your europe players for a couple of matches each (although I know that it doesn't mean you are using your best squad). The problem for Argentina to make it a full test side, is that we aren't using around our 35/40 best players because they need to play super rugby (plus others 5/10 top players currently in Europe). For sure we can continue playing this tournamente without these players for the next two years, and still have a good chance for winning the tournament. However, the UAR is not going to accept to name this team as Los Pumas. And this situation it will be worst as soon as we get a second super rugby franchise, meaning 55+ players not availables for the ARC. If the main reason for using this time slot is not working as was expected, and this time slot is preventing the Argentina to consider these matches as full test, then the ARC needs to be moved to a different time. I'm pretty sure that nothing is going to happen for the next two years. Lets hope that the new international game distribution (starting on 2020) give the Americas a better place to work on. [/QUOTE]
