Rugby in South America is only really played in two cities - Buenos Aires and Montevideo.

I only know this because the rugby club where I am a coach was entertaining an northern Argentinian touring club where the guy I was speaking to was saying that in order to get games, they pretty much have to travel the long journey to their capital. Probably a bit like in this country how a southern-based rugby league club might have to travel to the M62 corridor regularly - only with ten times the distances and a third of the money available to do so!

We are off and running and no surprise that Japan won but not by as many points as some of us thought!
