Argentina plan to take case for ‘Seven Nations’ to IRB

ARGENTINA will step up their bid to join the Six Nations by presenting their case to the International Rugby Board later this month.

The Pumas are anxious to build on their third place finish at the World Cup by gaining entry into one of the established annual competitions.

The Tri-Nations is a possible home but, with almost the entire national squad playing their rugby in Europe, the Six Nations remains their preferred option. The Union Argentina de Rugby, with help from the IRB, have been conducting a strategic review and will present their findings at the end of November.
