Latest Rugby Blog poll: Argentina - Six or Tri Nations?
The Pumas have this week requested to join the Six Nations, but many in Europe feel they would be better off joining the Tri Nations given they are a Southern Hemisphere team.
Nevertheless, many of their players represent European clubs, so it could make sense for Argentina to join the European competition.

Habana tipped to be star of RWC 2007
South African thunderbolt Bryan Habana is tipped by The Rugby Blog readers as the biggest star of the Rugby World Cup. In a telling result, a Springbok tops the poll with 29% of the vote, whilst an Englishman languishes at the bottom.
A huge reversal of fortunes in just four years sees 3% of readers choosing Jonny Wilkinson as the player to watch - a far cry from the heady days of 2003 where he was the centre of attention.
Dan Carter was the second-favourite with 25%, Irish skipper Brian O’Driscoll was third with 15%, and the French sex-symbol Sebastian Chabal received 10% of the vote.
Richie McCaw (8%), Schalk Burger (6%) and even a Welshman (James Hook, 6%) are more likely to be stars of this Rugby World Cup than poor old Jonny.

58% of The Rugby Blog readers aligned with Brian Ashton
The Rugby Blog poll found that 58% of respondents thought that Lawrence Dallaglio should play Number 8 for England. Today Brian Ashton has named the World Cup-winning legend in his starting line up for England’s first game against the USA.
21% believe that Nick Easter should start in that position, with 12% opting for Joe Worsley. Martin Corry received just 9% of the vote, and Brian Ashton seems to agree, having left him on the bench for Saturday’s clash.
