Pumas poised to get Euro presence

ARGENTINE rugby is poised to have a European presence with Magners League involvement from 2010, while the Pumas are also in line for inclusion in an expanded Tri-Nations southern hemisphere international competition from 2012.

It’s been a long-held dream for the Pumas, famous for their giant-killing exploits, to get a full crack at regular international competition.

Today at Croke Park they’re seeking another victory over Ireland, but this European trip involves business off the field too; it started, and will possibly finish, with a series of meetings geared to having an Argentinean/Spanish presence in one of the two top European club rugby tournaments.
