Argentina's win over the British & Irish Lions was just one more achievement in a 12 month period where they also defeated the All Blacks, the Springboks and the Wallabies for the first time ever. But this wasn't just a milestone for Argentinian rugby, but for South American Rugby as a whole. The Los Pumas side that beat the Lions contained players from Super Rugby Americas - the young league encompassing teams from Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Chile. Along with Argentina, those nations are now starting to emerge as challengers on the rugby circuit.
In this podcast I speak to Joe Santamaria from the Rugby Paper and ESPN. He's on the ground in Buenos Aires and gives me the inside scoop on Argentina's acceleration on both the international and domestic front. He tells me all about Super Rugby Americas and how it is super charging the World Cup ambitions of Uruguay, Chile & Brazil. Last but not least, he educates me on the most exciting development of all: the advancement of the Brazilian national women's rugby team.
The HG rugby podcast is all about telling the stories you don't get to hear anywhere else. By interviewing people from across the globe I hope to enhance people's enjoyment of rugby by informing of the hidden achievements of those outside the mainstream. If you like the sound of that, please !
