This journo worked for the UAR until December. He hints that Talleres is the football club behind the Córdoba bid and that Bahía Blanca is also interested in joining the league > https://twitter.com/UgeAstesiano/status ... 8263046144

Re: South American rugby
This article also reconfirms something we've heard before, that Colombia is trying to get a team by 2020. I think it may be better for them to loan some players to other teams for the first year and put on a full team for 2021 but a lot of them can't up and leave because of their jobs.

Re: South American rugby
Chile playing Argentina XV as a warmup and will have 8 new caps for the ARC including Australian center Jaden Laing whose mother is from Santiago. He’s the only player based outside of Chile. Cool to see an additional match for them against Argentina but I’d imagine they get fatigued after 6 straight weeks with a match.

Interview with URT president > https://www.lagaceta.com.ar/nota/795736 ... iezas.html
He looks irked with good reason at the lack of certainties. They don’t even know the terms of the tender. The franchise will represent the NOA region (Tucumán, Salta, Santiago, Jujuy) so the “Naranja” brand might not be used. He also urges the UAR to acquire more than two franchises. Tucumán Lawn Tennis will host the games > https://www.estadiosdeargentina.com.ar/ ... -club.html
There is a break in the middle of the tournament.

Re: South American rugby
I didn’t realise Davenport University were so good at rugby. I was going to apply to university there and I thought it would easy to get onto a US college team but it seems they have a lot of Australians and South Africans there. Saw clips of Jaden Laing on YouTube, he seems like a complete unit of a man (130kg). Many new names for chile or is it fairly consistent?
Re: South American rugby
Yeah Davenport’s top 5 or 6 in the country, at that level you’re getting a lot of talented players both domestic and foreign. The only outliers are Army and Navy for obvious reasons.

Don't think they're top 6. Life, Cal, St Mary's, Lindenwood, BYU (they seem to be in flux at the moment), Army, Navy, Penn St, Central Washington and probably a handful of others are consistently better. Good team that runs a serious program, though.

In my opinion Lemoine is increasing the base of the XV. The last match used several members of the successful VII team which must concentrate in Las Vegas, Vancouver, Hong Kong and Panamerican and Olimpic classification tournaments. The first choice scrum half moved to Austin so he won´t be part of the team.
Re: South American rugby
Why couldn't he be part of it? He should be allowed to be released for a few weeks for ARC, it's not during the designated release period but IIRC MLR clubs are fine releasing for a few weeks.

Re: South American rugby
Would’ve thought that they wouldn’t be able to play because MLR is kicking off this weekend. Surely they can’t play in both even if they’re a few days apart.

Nice turnout with 10.000 fans in attendance. Uruguay’s first choice front row got slaughtered in scrums. Brazil must be salivating.

Re: South American rugby
I watched the game, not because it was interesting to see a Uruguayan team with several key players missing against a vastly superior team, but because it was the first time we played in Montevideo at night.

It was an improvement respect to last ARC : 57-12. Lemoine is increasing the base of players for the national team, I expect a better ARC this year although the target is not high. I hope he will have 2 or 3 years to really improve the team. The rotation of Head coach has been too high while the VII team has had the same coach for 10 years, with quite different results.

Piñeyrúa mentioned that MLR teams don't give players as easily.

If it makes Uruguay fans feel any better they lost to the US 61-19 last year and Jaguares should be considerably better as they are pretty much the full Argentina side, minus a couple of Europeans of course.
