Glasgow Warriors host Edinburgh at Scotstoun in the first leg of those two teams’ now traditional 1872 Cup festive double-header in just 10 days’ time, but the simmering rivalry which is usually more intense around this time of the year will be put aside tonight when Argentinean players from both ends of the M8 join as one to support their national football team in their World Cup semi-final clash against Croatia.
“There are a few Argentinians in Scotland now. There is myself, Enrique Pieretto, Lucio Sordoni, Sebastian Cancelliere here at Glasgow, and of course Emiliano Boffelli at Edinburgh,” explained stand-off Domingo Miotti. “We all meet up usually around three times a week with our partners, but we’ve been meeting even more recently because of the football with the World Cup which we are all watching together.
“This is going to be a huge game against Croatia, so we are all going to Boffelli’s house in Edinburgh to watch it.
