At least the Argentinian expansion makes some sense: Southern Hemisphere, Pumas in Rugby Championship, easier travel for SA teams than Oz or NZ. Adding a northern hemisphere team is all about money though.
They should have gone with the one team from Buenos Aires then in a few years if that succeeded add a second Argentinian team. Other options would have been to add a Singapore team to the Australian division and a Pacific Islands team to the NZ division.
