[QUOTE="Paul Overt, post: 153989"] [i]World rugby union's senior administrator has called for Argentina to join an expanded southern hemispere Tri-Nations tournament, saying the Pumas couldn't be "neglected" any longer. The Pumas have been the darlings of the World Cup where last Sunday's 19-13 win over Scotland saw them into the semi-finals of rugby's global showpiece for the first time where they will face South Africa in Paris this Sunday. Argentina's rise, which has also seen them climb to fourth in the world rankings, has been all the more impressive as they do not currently participate in a major annual competition such as the northern hemisphere's Six Nations or the Tri-Nations involving South Africa, New Zealand and Australia (SANZAR). However, International Rugby Board (IRB) chairman Dr Syd Millar said here today that Argentina were close to being admitted to the Tri-Nations. [b]"I think that SANZAR are now seriously considering it, and after their performances in the Rugby World Cup, you can't neglect them," said Millar.[/b] [/i] [url="http://www.rugbyheaven.com.au/news/news/argentina-must-join-3n-irb/2007/10/09/1191695876182.html"]Argentina must join tri Nation[/url] [/QUOTE]
