WITHOUT beating drums or advertising its role in the development of rugby in South America and Africa, the South African Rugby Union (Saru) has quietly supported Argentina’s successful bid to be included in an expanded Tri-Nations and in future Super Rugby structures.
Argentina finished third at last year’s World Cup, their best showing yet in the tournament, even though they did not compete in the Tri-Nations or Six Nations tournaments, two of rugby’s major competitions.
However, last week Saru celebrated the International Rugby Board’s (IRB’s) decision to include Argentina in an expanded Tri-Nations and in future Super Rugby structures.
“That is dependent on the establishment of a professional league in Argentina, a process in which the Argentinian Rugby Union is currently engaged,” said Saru president Oregan Hoskins.
