[QUOTE="Lucas R, post: 1099360, member: 74451"] Houcarde says there'll [B]possibly [/B]be a new argentine franchise next year, and two years after that he hopes that [B]maybe [/B]there will be 3 or 4 franchises from Argentina. He doesnt mention any other country (even when back in 2019 and 2020, there were talks of two brazilians and two uruguayan team). He also says thel'll be looking to keep World Rugby financing part of the league expenses (that was suppose to end on 2023), with the arguments of Chile's and Uruguay's results, and then complains that covid didnt let them play home and away, and because of that it was harder to secure sponsors. So, I'll say the expansions would depend on how much financing we can get from WR. After talks about the "system" in argentina, and how before we had a best 60 players professionaly hired, only half of them playing something at the vodacom cup (back in 2011/12 with pampas XVs) and now there is 84 argie players playing within the SLAR teams, and that the objective of the expansion is giving the argentine players that dont make an impression at a young age, have a path to profesionalism, and to stop them going to second and third tier leagues abroad. He mentions absolutely nothing about the other countries, makes you thinks he works for the UAR, and not as South America head of performance... [/QUOTE]
