The Argentinian Rugby Union has revealed bidding to host the 2015 Rugby World Cup is not a priority.

The UAR had earlier asked the International Rugby Board what conditions were needed for Argentina to become a candidate to host the event.

But according to an official report released by the body, the UAR has decided "not to consider as a priority the idea put forward by the previous directors to be candidates to host the 2015 World Cup".

The report continued: "The current board will focus on other matters as they are more important at this moment in Argentinian rugby."

UAR new president Porfirio Carreras said: "It could be a good idea but not at this moment. We have another priorities that are more important, focusing on a new structure of management similar to the Tier One countries."

"Also, I think it's crucial that we can develop a plan to get Argentina into international championships (RBS 6 Nations or Tri-Nations)."
