Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Is this the first time they've played each other? They should consider playing more matches against each other as a preseason friendly - great local warm up for Jaguares (who will likely be experimenting a bit with lineups this season) and great test for Uruguay. Plus it hopefully builds some support for Jaguares in Uruguay as a marketing scheme.
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
They had a scrimmage in 2017. Jaguares won 61-07
Will MLR release the players for this fixture? If Uruguay lines up second stringers, it could get really ugly.

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Do you mean that our best players won't to the Americas Rugby Championship?
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
It's possible that's the case but not confirmed if they will be released for any of the games. We're still not really sure how that's going to work out for the US players.
Regardless, that is definitely worth it for you guys. The better players get to play MLR for the season and the fringe players get more starting time in the ARC as prep for the RWC.

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Uruguay looked dangerous during November Tests... Progress is certain. Good job

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
On the contrary, i'd think that it would be better for all teams in the Americas Rugby Championship to play with their best teams.
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Better for all teams, sure, but since this is only for 1 year I can't view it as much of a negative.

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
All of the Uruguayan players will be released for the ARC. The Winter Championship is in a regulation 9 window. Although the players will be in camp for Uruguay, I doubt they will be released to play in that fixture. World Rugby would not be happy in a World Cup year that a league did not release players during a Reg 9 window.

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
With Teros-Jaguares match on Jan 24th this simply means the Uruguayans will only go to USA after the ARC I believe.

Arata, Vilaseca, Dotti and Echeverría are out of this fixture. Magno, Nieto, Sanguinetti, Mieres, Leivas and Silva are still in Uruguay waiting for their visas but most likely won’t feature as well > https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/im ... 9114134842
This fixture is senseless for both parties. They should have sent Jaguares to Brazil.
In other news, Ignacio Chans said that Uruguay won’t have more than 20 professionals between their two LAR franchises > https://twitter.com/ignaciochans/status ... 8479250435
Do they need two teams? Why are they paying to develop foreigners?

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Would URU pay for foreigners or would they be subsidised by World Rugby given their probable origin?
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
I don’t think that WR will subsidize salaries. And even if they do, why would the URU use those slots on Argentines/Islanders?

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Because without World Rugby's guiding probably the league wouldn't go anywhere. Or at least not as ambitious as it's going to be. Anyway I admit I didn't expect this from Uruguay and I thought this way was going to be used only in Paraguay, Chile and Brazil.
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Yeah but why would WR want 20 foreigners in each Uruguayan franchise?Armchair Fan wrote:Because without World Rugby's guiding probably the league wouldn't go anywhere.
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Because World Rugby’s role is developing all rugby, not just Uruguay. Foreigners could include Argentinians, Islanders, Paraguayans (unless they have their own team) or Colombians.
It’s likely that URU is only able to pay for the 20 players which makes you question why even have 2 franchises (unless they are similar positions and will all get to start). I don’t think WR is technically paying any salaries as the money would come in part from HP grants.

Helping Colombians get into the league is one thing; signing 30 Argentine journeymen is another.
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Well part of the reason for the league is to increase the overall quality of Argentinian players as well and put them in a professional environment. There would be a greater net value but adding the Colombians over Argentinians but that doesn't mean it won't still improve something.
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
I just assumed most of the teams would be 50%+ Argentine. Their provincial sides can still beat everyone in South America. With a few SA and PI guys in the mix.
Re: Rugby in Uruguay
Not that true. Brazil has just visited in november Tucumán and Salta, that are 2 of the best 6 provinces: Brazil 29 - 30 Salta and Brazil 31-34 Tucumán.
And Uruguay has always played in tough matches against those 6 strongest provinces.
I don't think Brazil and Uruguay will want much more than a 1/3 of foreign players (unless we make them Tupis's players...) since both have serious ambitions in 15s. Chile too, as they'll have only 1 franchise. Only Paraguay will probably have a heavy amount of Argentines now.

Re: Rugby in Uruguay
I’m just saying that the cost/benefit is out of whack. Creating two franchises is a substantial financial risk for the development of merely 20 players.
