[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1076463, member: 74121"] Just as some context on this, the cancellation of the ARC appears to have been a political move. Sudamerica is livid at Canada for siding with Bill Beaumont against Pichot, with Sudamerica considering this a breach of a verbal agreement to vote in the interests of all Tier2. So the US (who voted for Pichot) suffer and get caught up in the crossfire. World Rugby appear to be trying persuade the Americas to reconcile, but Sudamerica appears to be holding out on only playing Canada in a tournament if it is expanded to incorporate nations outside of the Americas (presumably something like the hypothetical World League 2nd division). A couple of relevant articles thanks to the wonders of Google Translate (possibly my favourite tech development of the century!).
