After the first experience in the Super Rugby, this second season with argentine presence in the most demanding event in rugby union is close. While the complication of the requirement was raised input, the performance of the Jaguars was some way out of expectation.
With only four wins and eleven defeats, the first professional team of Argentine rugby completed his debut amid lights and shadows from the numbers. In the most general level, it sets an initial barrier broke with the best rented rugby world. Therefore, the balance of this initiative was a tough encounter with the highest performance. The greatest exponents of Australia, South Africa and New Zealand made him feel his presence to the Jaguares.
"In this first year we considered many things, but had to live the reality. We had successes and mistakes because we had no previous experience to clarify situations, such as the case of such straight travel," he admitted the head coach of the Pumas, Daniel Hourcade, Rugby & Biz.
He also noted the issue of players. "The rotation will review it must be good to try to take care of," he said. And in relation to the game, he said: "We noticed they were comfortable about the lack of internal competition and that's something we will improve by 2017".
Hourcade knows that the need to improve performance for next season is imperative. From there they are already evaluating different ways to generate the new scenario. "We will have new pressures, but will play eight home games and only seven of visitors. In addition, we will not cross with teams from New Zealand and exploit individual growth of the Jaguars," said tucumano.
One idea being considered is the incorporation of foreigners. More precisely, he slid that could reach Fiji players to strengthen the squad and force a stronger domestic competition. However, for now there is no indication that it crystallizes, despite being boosted by the Rugby World vice president, Agustin Pichot.
"I think it's not the time, as we lose the possibility of building both players for Los Pumas" said Hourcade. In this regard, he said: "Yes we lacked internal competition, but we will now generate from Argentina XV, the second national team, which will be like the middle of the First".
Also, Greg Peter, CEO of the UAR, said the eyes will be on the local. "The emphasis will be on growth and development of our players," he explained, to the time when he said that the Fijians is an "idea, but nothing specific." But not the arrival of outsiders for the second franchise, which already has awarded the UAR is discarded.
While the Union has an annual budget of $ 250 million bet by a second team would be shared or mixed. Negotiations with the United States (a potentially very strong place) and Brazil could lead to it. Thus, the basis of competition for Argentines expand and at the same time, economic risk to the UAR would shrink.
Unlike what happens selections level, the arrival of foreigners to a shared franchise would be a good alternative to take advantage of the available space and generate new business. Not so with the Pumas: natural Argentines only accept to wear this shirt.
In the RWC 2015 in England, Argentina was the only team (20) which did not foreigners on their roster. All a case study since there were 135 players -22% of those present at the World-Cup representing a nation in which they were not born.
With a global audience of 50 million people around the world and more than 2 million tickets sold in 2016, the future looms bright for the next edition of Super Rugby.
In this regard, Andy Marinos, CEO of SANZAAR, said: "We will have a schedule again with 18 teams, with the presence of Sunwolves (Japan) playing at home in Tokyo and Singapore and Jaguares acting eight games at Buenos Aires. Both made its debut in 2016 and saw a spectacular tournament. All this gave new scenarios and color to the event. "
With the challenge of settling in the contest and improve performance, Jaguares appeal (for now) to improve internal competition and to capitalize on the experience gained during this season.
