Súper Liga Americana, new South American Pro Rugby Competition

[Lucas R]

no new teams, specially for argentina is really dissapointing, I saw every game last year they were much better that I expected, but even with that said and the ammount of argies in the other teams, the onesidediness of the jaguares team ask for at least one new argie team, 4 in total would be nice.

Its also dissapointing because we started with ceibos in cordoba, having jaguares in the superrugby, and there were also talks months ago of adding a new franchise on tucuman. Also now news about a match with the MLR champion, and the "bubble" way of playing the tournament, even when everyone is already vaccinated. IDK I feel that covid kill the tournament before it started, or at least delayed its devolopment by a decade.

I'll be tuning in to see another perfect tournament by jaguares...

PS: it was still nice to see Uruguay and Chile beating canada and the US, hopefully that gives the league more backing

I agree with the pessimism of the bubble, especially reading headlines this week that makes me think live crowds at sporting events will be achievable in South America. I have read speculation that Brazil and Colombia may be the ones struggling financially.

In terms of competitiveness, I am more optimistic. In the first half of the season the Jaguares destroyed all opponents by 50+ points. But in the last couple of weeks of the season and then the playoffs, the Jaguares were pushed hard. I didnt see the games. Is there any explanation for this change in form? Did a bunch of players leave the Jaguares mid-season or something?

There was no lost of players for what I remember, I figured the difference was due to the last matches being with the best teams and the time pass give them time to develop
