[QUOTE="DonBilly, post: 136349"] Well shtove there's also kind of proximity implied by the notion of derby and although the distance is long for many years Argentina was the only nation of latin background which was a challenge. More recently with the high number of Pumas playing French club Rugby the traditional friendship between the two nations has strenghen up. So I tend to agree that there's some of the derby ingredients in a France - Argentina match. They are the team that know the best the French way of Rugby and I think the French are those who kno the best the Argentinian way of Rugby. If Italy follows on improving it can be another derby. In the former times there used to be what was called la coupe latine/copa latina/latin cup played by Argentina, France, Italy and Roumania. It would be nice that the A teams of Argenina, Italy and France play it again with Roumania, and why not adding Uruguay, Chile, Spain and Portugal. [/QUOTE]
