[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 698030, member: 63264"] I think 2 teams would be too risky for the first step of the UAR in professional rugby. Remember that even Australia isn't able to have 5 full teams by Aussie players. Even in this forum many users have complained that the 5 Aussie franchises has been a step backward for the ARU, as they have to hire foreign players, mainly Rebels and Force. Most of our top players will have more than 30 years in 2016, so it's logical that most of them would prefer a higher retirement in Europe. Our franchise will have about 40 players involved or more, if we consider injuries, also we have the Pumitas (Argentina Under 20), which has a professional treatment, because most of the kids are part of PLADAR, and we have Argentina A (Jaguars), competing in tournaments of Tier 2 against Canada & USA, and different tournaments around the world as the Pacific Cup this year. so it's deep enough for the amount of top class players we have, we don't have 800 top class players, so start with 2 Super Rugby franchises would be ridiculous. Some people complain about everything, before they complained because we weren't professionals. Now we are walking our first steps at the club level professionalism with our own Super Rugby franchise, and some supporters are complaining. It's ridiculous! [/QUOTE]
