[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 196312"] Are all our Unions making a specific point of ignoring Argentina? Is there some competition over who can ignore Argentina the most: the NH or the SH?! A Japanese franchise, in a country where clubs are usually just sporting extensions of the big Japanese Conglomerates will be incredibly difficult to sell to the public. Unless SANZAR can get a tie-in with a major Japanese company like Toyota or one of the big Breweries then to be brutally honest, it'll fail. Two teams in Argentina would be perfect. Their talent has to come from somewhere and its usually Argentina. If you can catch them before the scouts from the French clubs can get to them and put them in a Super *insert number here* competition against the likes of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand then they will definitely stay home in Argentina. To be honest, they make most of their money from product tie ins and endorsments anyway, what the Argentine players want is a competition big enough at home for them to play in. If Super Rugby comes to Argentina, the players will come. Simple as that. [/QUOTE]
