Re: Argentine club rugby
I know Torneo de Clubes B is new but is it now considered as second club level ahead of Interior A ? If no, is it considered better than Interior B ?

The Gold Cup has the top 3 teams from Córdoba and Litoral.
The 3 Córdoba teams will play the 3 Litoral teams over three rounds.
A final playoff will be played on October 14.
The Plate Cup is similar. The Bronze Cup was just one round of matches.

o- Tala, Tablada, Palermo Bajo.
o- Jockey de Rosario, Duendes, Gimnasia y Esgrima de Rosario.
Plate Cup:
o- Córdoba Athletic, Urú Curé, Universitario de Córdoba.

Re: Argentine club rugby
It looks a great idea to have Cordoba playing Litoral clubs. Any chances to see a complete merge?

Re: Argentine club rugby
I disagree with a merger between the Córdoba and Litoral tournaments.
Córboba and Rosario are 400 km apart. That would be too much travel for amateur clubs.

Brazil is not playing tournaments before Punta. We should have played at least one and we must return to the Seven de La Republica.

It is a sport clearly associated with the upper middle class. I’m not disputing that. However, there are plenty of working class clubs throughout the country. I would say more than half of the clubs in Buenos Aires fit that mold.
My issue with your comment was the inequality part. That Canada couldn’t replicate our amateur club scene because they had a more equal society. I don't follow your line of reasoning.

Re: Argentine club rugby
The UAR announced the schedule for their national club competitions:
Nacional de Clubes A and B: http://uar.com.ar/2017/12/12/asi-se-jue ... cion-2018/
Torneo del Interior A and B: http://uar.com.ar/2017/12/12/programaci ... -interior/
Torneo del Interior C: http://uar.com.ar/2017/12/12/se-amplia- ... a-federal/
Not surprisingly, they changed the rules on the fly. Carrasco Polo won the Interior B last season, so Uruguay was supposed to have had two clubs in Nacional B, one in Interior A and two in Interior B. Instead, the UAR gave Uruguay only one team in Interior B but added two more clubs into the brand new Interior C.
In Nacional B, Old Boys will face Lomas (Buenos Aires), Sporting (Mar del Plata) and Palermo Bajo (Córdoba). Old Christians will face C.A.S.I. (Buenos Aires), Jockey (Salta) and Los Tordos (Mendoza).
In Interior A, Montevideo Cricket will face Lince (Tucumán), C.R.A.I. (Santa Fe) and C.U.R.N.E. (Chaco).
In Interior B, Trebol will face Universitario (Mar del Plata), Roca R.C. (General Roca - Alto Valle) and San Martín (Villa Maria - Córdoba).
In Interior C, Carrarco Polo will face Córdoba R.C. (Córdoba), Cardenales (Tucumán) and Universitario (Santa Fe). P.S.G. will face Bigornia (Rawson), San Juan R.C. (San Juan) and Los Cardos (Tandil).

Re: Argentine club rugby
Player numbers of Argentina in 2017: https://www.despuesdeltry.com/recientes ... r-del-2017
Player registration grew 5,7% in 2017 to 68.477 players. They start counting at U15 so it doesn’t include kids rugby. Nor it includes school, university and corporate rugby. Women’s rugby grew 29,7% to 3.643 players.
Top regions: Buenos Aires (24.788); Córdoba (5.198); Tucumán (3.624); Rosario (3.548) and Cuyo (3.113). Don’t have access to the complete set of
data but it looks like Andina (+41,1%) and Tucumán (40,1%) were the biggest risers.
The only worrisome number is that the desertion rate reached 35,7%. It includes old retired players and transfers abroad but even then it seems pretty high.
Some tidbits from UAR / URBA provisional Calendar for 2018: http://urba.org.ar/useruploads/notas/ar ... a_2496.pdf
Santa Fe most likely will host the second Wales test in June (the first one is set for Trelew). The rumor was that Cordoba was getting that match but it fell through once again. No idea about that last Scotland test.
Ireland, France and Scotland in the November window.
Pumitas will tour to New Zealand in March / April. They will face the youth sides of Hurricanes, Blues and Chiefs.
The calendar says that Jaguares will make their pre-season in the US. This is the first time I hear about this. The Pumas use to have their pre-WC training camp in Pensacola so Mario Ledesma may want to revisit that experience.
It is a provisional calendar but there is no news about the rumored Currie Cup participation. The SARU already extended an invitation for the 2018 edition.
