[QUOTE="ChiefsFan, post: 193396"] I've said it before, and I'll say it again - NO Argie teams below international level. Any half decent Argie player is already snapped up earning the big bucks in Europe - how exactly is two teams made up of Buenos Aires club rugby players facing fully professional squads with All Blacks, Wallabies and Springboks going to help the game over there? [/b][/quote] The thing is, if a competition ran with Argentinian teams in it, the Argentinians who are currently playing in Eurpoe could then play in this competition thus opening up a time for Argentina to play in an expanded Tri Nations Considering we are a much larger potential rugby market with many areas still to tap I don't see your reasoning...6 NZ teams and 4 Australian teams? As long as the AB's have much more depth we'll be sweet right? ;) [/b][/quote] Currently Australia doesn't have enough depth. After a few years when teams are brimming with good players and reserves with good ability then a Gold Coast team (or wherever) can begin. At the moment however they would just get slaughtered. At the moment there is one Oz team with a realistic chance of making the Semis. If we give them another team they should be on par with NZ. [/QUOTE]
