2016 Americas Rugby Championship

The 2016 Americas Rugby Championship was the first series of the Americas Rugby Championship (sometimes informally called the "Americas Six Nations", a reference to Europe's Six Nations Championship), a new annual western hemisphere rugby union championship. It was contested by Argentina XV (Argentina's secondary national team), Canada, United States, Uruguay, Brazil, and Chile.[1] All matches will be full international test matches with caps awarded, including for Argentina XV players and their opponents,[2] but Argentina XV matches will not count to World Rankings for either team.

  1. Pablo Bouza will be acting head coach for the XV team in place of normal head coach Daniel Hourcade.[3]
gollark: I mean, if you have a vector or something, does a `const` thing to it mean anything?
gollark: Immutability is a saner default, and `const` does not, as far as I know, work on, say, any data structure.
gollark: I also don't like that basically everything is mutable by default.
gollark: As much as I dislike Go, at least it appears to get this right.
gollark: It should be `int[10]* v` or something, so that the type information is ACTUALLY WITH THE TYPE.
