Don't be mistaken, the Kiwis, Aussies and Saffas all want Los Pumas in an expanded Tri-Nations. The only problem is that its not possible until 2010.
The reason there aren't any Argentinians playing rugby in Australia or NZ or SA in the hope of playing internationally is because if you play for any of these nations professionaly, then you are automatically barred from representing your own country and must be eligable for the country you are playing in, and if you don't want to play for that country then tough luck.
I certainly appreciate your point of view. Los Pumas being placed into the NH competition would definitely be more culturally beneficial and may even start in 2009.
