🇦🇷Argentina’s RWC players “got the phone call” not from the coaches but from ex Pumas.
Hugo Porta called Emiliano Boffelli
Rolando Martín called Guido Petti
Alejandro Allub called Matías Alemanno
Santiago Gómez Cora called Rodrigo Isgró.
Players were stunned with emotion
World League / Nations Cup starting in 2026 after winning the vote 41-10.
- 🇦🇷Argentina voted no. Rest of T1 world voted yes.
- Rugby fans of growth in Wales, France, etc should be angry with your admin.
- Lions protected; T2 in the garbage heap
Reminder that World Rugby do not give the South American winner direct qualifying to the World Cup.
Africa 1 goes to the World Cup. South America 1 does not.
South America have been asking for parity for several World Cup cycles.

World Rugby have gifted Asia a direct spot at Rugby Word Cup 2027 at the expense of South America.
This is a political decision not one of merit. It suggests that where the sport is growing most is not a priority for the British run WR of Beaumont, Jeffreys and Gilpin.

Yes, there is. Argentina wants to grow rugby in South America.
Argentina wants Uruguay to be Italy level and Chile to be Uruguay level, etc.
Argentine staff past and present say that in order to have a sustainable model for the future we must expand the sport.
Hay conversaciones para que Fiyi juegue el Rugby Championship junto con 🇦🇷🇦🇺🇿🇦🇳🇿 a partir de 2024.
Tener un buen desempeño el la Copa del Mundo y hacerse notar. Argentina taró casi cinco años en incorporarse.

Yo doy la bienvenida a la medida.
Hoy es el día más grande en la historia del rugby chileno.🇨🇱
Este partido es tan monumental y significativo.
Chile tiene una oportunidad real. Este es el momento de Los Cóndores.

To those who oppose a 24-team Rugby World Cup take note that 🇧🇷Brazil defeated 🇨🇦Canada this evening 18-10.
It marked Brazil's second win over Canada in three years.
🇦🇷Santiago Chocobares tiene 24 años
🇦🇷Lucio Cinti tiene 23 años
Podría considerarse una de los mejores combinaciones de centros de los Pumas. Ya jugaron juntos como titulares en un Mundial y les queda mucho, mucho tiempo por delante.
🇫🇷Toulouse + 🏴Saracens hoy.
87 years on from the first Argentina 🇦🇷vs🇨🇱 Chile test match Rugby World Cup 2023 sees la batalla de los Andes.
Here is the jersey from the 1936 test series. UAR was URRP back then. That is the Unión de Rugby del Río de la Plata (Rio Plate Rugby Union) which became UAR in 1951.
Rumor that 🇨🇱Chile will play against 🏴Scotland in July.
It will be before Chile face the USA in RWC qualifiers and before Scotland play their three tests vs Argentina.
Rumores se escuchan: Chile enfrentaría a Escocia en la ventana de junio, como preparativo para el ida y vuelta frente a EEUU por clasificación al mundial.
¿Que les parece?
🏴Scotland’s July tour to include a test match in South America.
Except 🏴Scotland’s July Internationals to be a three match tour as follows:
Canada 🇨🇦vs🏴 Scotland
USA 🇺🇸vs🏴 Scotland

🇫🇷France to South America for 3 tests: 🇦🇷Argentina (2) + 🇺🇾Uruguay.

The rumors are very real. World Rugby is signing over 100% commercial rights to the top division of new World League to 6N / SANZAR.
WR will only control the lower division of 12 other teams.
Promotion + relegation playoffs start in 2030. If promoted it is for 2032.
🇨🇱 José Ignacio Larenas will make history on Saturday. The Cóndor will become the first-ever player to earn 50 test caps for Chile.

Chile 🇨🇱vs🏴 Scotland is almost official. Just some minor details to finalize. The commercial arrangements are all in place.
It will be first ever match between Chile and Scotland.
Chile previously played vs Ireland in 1952 and vs France in 1954.
Es tedioso ¿no? Los campeones de los últimos cuatro Mundiales están en la final.
Esta es una lectura de por qué Los Pumas son tan importante; tan vital para romper las cadenas.
Los Lions es una discrepancia arcaica y Beaumont no es la persona adecuada para dirigir este deporte.

10 🇦🇷Domingo Miotti
Así es, el mejor jugador del fin de semana en la élite de Francia fue el tucumano Domingo Miotti.
Ofrecerá una opción importante en los años posteriores a Sánchez.
En este día de resultados extraordinarios, vamos recordar un punto extremadamente importante.
Uruguay.
Los Teros calificaron para la RWC 2019 sin ningún jugador extranjero.
Cero, ninguno.
🇦🇷Argentina and Tier 2 requested promotion / relegation which was green-lighted.
So… Different unions have more power than others. No move from World Rugby to democratize: 1 vote for all.
Uruguay, Chile, Portugal, Georgia, Tonga, Samoa have less votes or no votes.
