History

Away from Buenos Aires, where the game's background is traditionally somewhat refined, Tucuman is a heartland for the sport, where supporters are passionate, and often burn the opposition's flag on the terraces. This is a region which has provided Argentina with some of its toughest forwards.
One of Argentina's main problems has been geographical isolation and despite Chile, Uruguay and to a much lesser extent, Brazil playing the game, Argentina towers above them, and has not a reasonable match in its continent. Its first contact outwith the continent was in 1910, when an England team led by J. Raphael toured, winning all six matches, scoring 213 points, and conceding a mere 31. This embarrassing deficit would occur again in 1927, when David McMyn's England tour scored 295 points, and conceded only 9.
There were similar humiliations when, the Junior Springboks toured Argentina in 1932, winning all eight matches. and when a British side visited in 1936.
