Any expansion of the Six Nations Championship is now considered improbable, due to scheduling difficulties. Argentina had requested their joining the Six Nations, by basing the team in Spain. The Tri Nations accepted their application to join in 2012, and the competition renamed The Rugby Championship.
Argentina officially joined The Rugby Championship in a meeting in Buenos Aires on November 23, 2011
