[QUOTE="Leinster Fan, post: 993699, member: 76349"] Pichot just hasn't been professional enough over the last few years to deserve a promotion. The worst moment was when he quoted a random youtube video with dodgy at best sourcing and treated their stats as fact (when they were pretty much all wrong), on his official twitter account. He's also an unending souce of terrible ideas, the world league chief among them. He has the best interests of rugby at heart (but especially Argentinian rugby) and he deserves praise for trying to modernize things, but no thanks. That's not to say that he's all bad though, changing the residency rule probably wouldn't have happened without him and that was needed. Beaumont seems like a bit of a relic and definitely isn't perfect but it's hard to imagine him losing, he'll have most if not all the main NH unions behind him, as well as NZ and I guess has a better shot at Aus/SA. Other than Argentina, is there anyone definitely behind Pichot (genuine question). Always hard to know with world rugby though, they're not as bad as they used to be but horse training is definitely still a major part of decision making so what'll happen is anyone's guess. [/QUOTE]
