[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 103138"] As soon as Argentina enter a regular international competition they will break into the top tier. They will break their hoodoo of never beating the AB's. They will be feared by all........but most of all they will open up rugby to the Southern American continent with their success and begin to spread the game their. Argentina have always been there or abouts. A combined South American team beat the Springboks way back in the early 80's. They just need regular competition to raise their profile in their own country and make inroads into soccer. Already they have shown their natural ability by winning on the sevens series circuit. Sevens is a game where the natural abilities of a player are shown more as opposed to team work....Argentina have shown they do possess natural ability in this arena. When Argentina beat the AB's it will be a sad day for Kiwis. However in the long run it will be fantastic for NZ and every other rugby playing nation as Argentina will feel they have finally earnt RESPECT as a rugby nation. NZ rugby really needs a bigger stage for its heroes to glory in otherwise Rugby will end up like Rugby League internationally where it is not such a glorious stage. I say let them in. Cut the games back to simply home and away rather than playing each country 3 times. Argentina can hold their own and once they start winning games which they will then they will generate the same excitement that the original nations already possess. Let their be no breaks or byes for the countries so that it is all over in 6 weeks so that the Argentinian players can go back to their French and Italian clubs. [/QUOTE]
