On Friday November 6th, Argentina XV (a third string team) defeated Uruguay 55-13, in a match played in Belgrano Athletic, a beautiful pitch in the best zone of the Belgrano sector in Buenos Aires. Good number of people.

The Uruguayan Rugby (not the country) is, indubious, in problems.

As said many years ago the Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega Gasset, "Argentines, on things", translated into rugby: Argentine, Uruguay must helped by us.---

The Argentine, as a Rugby nation leader in América, must help to the Uruguayans, our brothers of blood, culture, fights of the Independence, people characteristics, common ancestors, rugby and soccer origins, etc...The historic relationship is as the relationship between Australia and NZ, and are the two countries more similary between they in Latin América (in human, culture and history concerns). Also the economies are in some measure, complementaries, but the relation between population, territory surface, industry, etc., is widely in favour of the Argentine. For who can be interesting in the concern, the articles of the Wikipedia in English are very near of the true.

Forget the political differences, some things of the past, and "Hands on the work".

After all, they used to be another province in our country (the Banda Oriental). I sort of never think of uruguayans as real 'foreigners' here, to be honest.
