Chile to host inaugural Latin America Championship

[flyingking]

Chile will host Argentina, Colombia and Mexico in the Latin American Championship mid November. Matches will be played in Santiago with teams mainly composed of local players. Hopefully these will be full international matches rather than the 9s tournament last year in Argentina.

It has been confirmed these will be 13 a side matches over 80 minutes, which will make it the first full intrernational tournament in South America!

confirmed the matches are 13 a side, the first for some of these nations. Wonderful they've been able to get to this stage and it should see further development off the back of this. Great that there's some competing rivalry to spur on the other nations development
