i seriosuly do reckon a super 14 team for argie for a few yrs n if they can handle that then maybe give them a crack at tri-nations, travel wouldnt be too bad, prob closer than going to RSA

i can see this happening. although i think what the nz, sa, and australian unions want more for is for argentina to make their league from amateur to professional. apparently there's all kinds of corruption and other kinds of problems going on in argentina, which is why all of their top players are in europe, and is also a reason why argentina isn't in the tri nations yet.

australia a and junior all blacks also play in it, i think argentina would have a hard time with them.

[Zeran]

i don't think so. agree to disagree, i suppose

[imirish06]

how bout we talk about NZ when they don't choke in a world cup?

[lovethiscity]

I agree we choke way too much (@ world cup) but we have easily been the most consistently good nation over the past few years

[Zeran]

new zealand has been the most consistently good nation over forever. 80% win record all time is insane. they consistently beat elite nations like 50-10 or so. they just have too much pressure on them in the world cup, i think. the 2011 one will be intense.

[phil19]

new zealand has been the dominant nation for a while now. that was why tehre was so much pressure on them to win the world cup, because they had been the best for so long. im just waiting for the wallabies to make their big comeback to world dominance =P

Not really on topic right now, but my school is recruiting for the first time this year, so if you know anyone who is interested in playing in college for a Div. II New York State champion level team, send them over here http://www.sburfc.com

canterbury win the air new zealand cup.

edinburgh actually won a game, and they did it away from home! and it was an actual win, not a barely won/lucky one. i'm so impressed.

I've been playing rugby a lot more recently than usual. Scored two tries in the last week or so from scrum-half position, quite happy with that. Can't wait for Six Nations, still a while off yet.

WALLABIES VS ALL BLACKS THIS SATURDAY FELLAZ!!!!

Hoping Sonny Bill plays for the BaaBaa's in a few weeks, i want Mortlock, Lote or Crossy to drop him on his stupid tattoo'ed arse

[Zeran]

should be a great match, and extra interesting since it's outside of australia and new zealand.

who are the barbarians playing?
