[edit] overall

[edit] word change
Rugby wasn't brough to South Aeerica by British there wasn't a good amount of British immigrants in other countries except for Argentina, it was brough to ARGENTINA. Besides we are talking about the Argentinian team so I don't kbow why we have to refer to the entire continent, when they have other history, ethnic and culture.
- You can change it, if you like but it is still accurate (to my knowledge). Argentina was the first South American country to get rugby and it was brought by British migrants. Most other South American countries have hardly heard of rugby (no Britons).GordyB 20:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
YES gordy that was my point that in Argentina rugby is famous because of the English and Welsh immigrants during the 19th and early 20th century , but not in other countries of the Americas. And certainly in other countries of Latin America.
- My point is that it is still true that the introduction of rugby to Argentina was also the introduction of rugby to Latin America i.e. the facts are true. Whether they need to be mentioned is another matter.GordyB 22:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Title change
I recommend moving this page to "Los Pumas", in line with All Blacks, Las Leonas, etc. I think anyone looking for info on this team will search for Pumas, as they are universally known, and not "argentina national rugby union team"... ironcito 08:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
- The Pumas is not sufficiently well known to justify a move. Whilst the 'All Blacks' are well enough known even by people who don't follow rugby union, the Pumas are not. As for 'Las Leonas' - I have no idea who they are.GordyB 12:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loss to Chile?
The text talks of a loss to Chile, but the head to head results indicate that they've never lost? Can anyone clarify? Greenman 21:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- I'll look into it some time, but it is possible that they have lost and it not be in the head to head results. It wasn't necessarily a capped Test match, and the head to head table includes only capped matches. Anyway, could be wrong so I will look into it. - Shudde talk 21:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
- According to this (http://www.rugbydata.com/argentina/chile), Argentina have never lost to Chile, but I'm not sure that this includes non-cap matches. The wiki text says that the match was played in '56 but the website doesn't show a game as having been played in '56.GordyB 22:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Argentina and the Tri-Nations
Argentina has done all the world cup, and it's a great team as their performance in this world cup shows.I wonder why Argentina is notin the Tri-Nations?It may do progress it!Excuse me if my english isn't correct!Thanks!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.1.242.129 (talk) 19:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- A lot of considerations but mostly travelling distances and the fact that their players play in Europe and would be unavailable.GordyB 19:23, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
