    bienvenidos Queremos darles a todos una cálida bienvenida a nuestra tercera temporada en el Personal Super Rugby. Para nosotros es un placer, un orgullo y una responsabilidad inmensas estar en condiciones de participar en este certamen, que tiene el mejor nivel de rugby que hoy se puede encontrar en todo el planeta. Este nuevo Super Rugby de 15 equipos nos brinda la posibilidad de ver a los jugadores más renombrados del Hemisferio Sur y del mundo jugar en fines de semana consecutivos, tanto aquí en Argentina como en Sudáfrica, Australia o Nueva Zelanda. Esto, que hoy se ha convertido en una sana costumbre que se vive hasta con cierta naturalidad, hace no muchos años atrás era algo impensado y hasta utópico no sólo para el jugador argentino, sino para el público. Hoy, con inmensa alegría, tenemos por tercera vez la posibilidad de disfrutar de este rugby que es además, el espectáculo deportivo de mayor envergadura, calidad y reconocimiento internacional que tiene nuestro país. Casi ya sobre la finalización del mandato de esta Presidencia y Consejo Directivo, estamos absolutamente agradecidos del unánime apoyo que hemos recibido siempre de parte de todo el rugby argentino en su conjunto, representado por las uniones provinciales y sus clubes, que son, en definitiva, para quienes todos nosotros (La dirigencia amateur y los profesionales de la UAR) trabajamos incansablemente todos los días del año (con errores y con aciertos) pero siempre en pos de mejorar la cantidad y calidad de los torneos, de los entrenadores y jugadores que conforman el rugby de base, que son los cimientos del rugby argentino.

It had been a big week for the coaches and players as we reviewed our season to date, and credit to them and all involved to embrace this process.
