[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 526363, member: 38640"] Yep. I don't know why Argentina XV isn't playing Wanganui or Buller in the Heartland Championship...Crowds of 1,500 people on good days! (Sometimes a game a week is telivised on Rugby Channel!). I also don't know why Australia isn't creating a domestic competition so they can sign players from Argentina, uncaring ********... It comes down to South Africa just being able to afford more than NZ & Aus dude. NZ can't sign players in teams they don't have the money for. Limited spots in Super Rugby also means we can't afford to sign many over seas players, as even if we have the cash, we lose those players who have come through our system to overseas clubs (much like Toulon lose their produced players when they import stars). By a similar token we do much more for Samoa than South Africa. South Africa SR teams, seem to get a lot of private investment if I'm not mistaken, something NZ doesn't have. [/QUOTE]
