Argentina's stock rises in World Rugby

Argentina legend Agustín Pichot is the Vice President of World Rugby, while Fernando Rizzi, who is the Secretary of the UAR (Argentine Rugby Union), is a representative of Argentine rugby.

Another Argentine representative is Marcelo Rodriguez, who is the President of South American Rugby.

"It fills us with pride and at the same time it is a great responsibility," said Rizzi. 

"We have worked very hard for Argentina to be where we are today in world rugby.

"The UAR Board of Directors are committed to continue striving to be able to honour this unique opportunity that is presented to Argentine rugby thanks to the effort of all."
