Just seen the good news on BBC.

The new format will be a 4 nations tournament and you play one home and one away game against the other teams.

One critical factor is that the TriNations have demanded that the Pumas always field their best side for every single game.

Wonder how long it will be before they take their first scalp??

Anyone see the NZ v Boks game on the weekend.... a great comeback in the last 30mins by NZ but all praise Boks standing tall and fronting them out. Now NZ had you played like that all tournament it would be you not the Boks with the title.

This is great news for Southern Hemisphere rugby, going to be a travel nightmare, especially for the Argies and Saffas. Hope sensible match schedules can be made with decent breaks between long distance travel before games.

The Pumas are a great team and deserve this, it is long overdue.
