Chevallier Boutell, then treasurer of the Argentine Rugby Union, was the main ideologue of the France tour, organising a fundraiser to secure a visit from the team, which would be the first tour a top-level international team to Argentina. Chevallier Boutell first traveled to France to arrange the invitation and then took charge of the campaign to raise the necessary funds, as the Union lacked the required resources.Frank Chevallier Boutell, el patriarca que cuidaba los pesos de la Unión Argentina de Rugby by Jorge Búsico on La Nación. 25 May 2023 Some local clubs also helped the initiative, Hindú Club gave its training field in Don Torcuato while Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires (mostly known as "GEBA") gave its stadium, Estadio GEBA, for the matches held in Buenos Aires.El bisabuelo de Maratea, impulsor de las colectas en otros tiempos by Luca Palmas on Deportea. 13 May 2023 The French community in Argentina gave their strong support to the initiative, buying half of the tickets on sale in advance. Boutell also made the arrangements to get loans from the Banco de Londres and Banco de América del Sud.
