This is the first time for polo fans of New Zealand to see the colours of the mighty Coronel Suarez take the field.
They will play two Internationals against the New Zealand side. The first is in Christchurch on Sunday, February 1, and the second at Kihikihi on February 7.
In the week before the Kihikihi match they will play along with the top players of New Zealand in a four-team tournament.
The Coronel Suarez club is the most successful winner of the Argentine Open, winning the title 26 times between 1934 and 1983. The Club was founded in 1926 and in a few years became the most recongnised club in both Argentine and world polo.
Their best ever side, which held a 40-goal rating for five consecutive years, was that of the two Harriotts - Jaun Carlos, rated as the greatest ever, and his brother, Alfredo - and the Heguy brothers, Alberto and Horacio.
