Q&A with Paul Tait

[Draggs]

Hello all!
We have arranged for a Q&A with rugby author Paul Tait. His most recent book, Rugby World Cup 2003 and 2015 was released in November and chronicles English rugby post-2003 success to the upcoming World Cup being held in England and Wales next September. He has been heavily involved in campaigning for the 2023 Rugby World Cup to be held in Argentina; the topic of his first book.

Please leave any questions you have about any of these topics and more! Thread will close 10 February.

I have a question for Paul:

When will he be active again on our forum?

 

[TRF_Cymro]

How influential has Agustín Pichot been in the development of Argentinian rugby since his retirement as a player?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

What effect do you believe an Argentinian world cup would have on Argentine and South American Rugby, would it move Argentina a step closer to being a world superpower and would it make rugby a more prominent sport in South America?

 

[Draggs]

With the recent news of Super a rugby expansion to include Argentina, we have extended the deadline for questions to cover this.

 

[big ginger 8]

Will an Argentine franchise be able to attract many of the European based Argentines, given the likely disparity between wages?

How much of a difference do you think the Argentine super rugby team will make and do you think there should be more than one at introduction.
