[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1102939, member: 74121"] I don't think the expansion to NA limits SA, but it's a pretty desperate attempt to get TV money (and in fairness a desperate attempt that needs to be made to make SLAR sustainable). The above article suggests you'll still get a second professional Argentine side. Good for Canadian rugby to get a second Pro side although I'm doubtful how strong these NA sides will be. Plus I think it's a bad sign that Tier 2 countries across the world are increasingly splitting their resources between multiple professional competitions. It shows a lack of confidence in the long term prospects of a competition that already exists to start messing about with a second one. It also probably shows dysfunctional factionalism within different unions. [/QUOTE]
