Hindu Club vs. Alumni
How they arrive: After three losses in a row Hindu Club returned to triumph. As a local, and in a very fought match, he beat Newman for 20 to 14, after a very even partial that ended 3 to 0 in his favor.
Alumini arrives along the same line as his rival, with two victories, three losses and 10 points in the general table. It also comes from three consecutive losses after winning on the first dates. On Saturday he could not before the almost, which surpassed him by 29 to 22.
What do they look for: For two clubs accustomed to fighting in places of privilege the start of the tournament was not good, since they accumulated three falls in the five dates played to date.
With an important and marked presence in recent years and several endings played with each other, this time Alumni arrives as the defending champion and the advantage of using his court, due to the suspension that the Club of Don Torcuato will meet.
The background: Hindu has not beat Alumni: the last success was in the 2022 season, when he did 27 to 21, in Don Torcuato. The rojiblanco won the four duels that were played between 2023 and 2024, the last one as a visitor, by 43 to 19 last year. This match will be played in Tortuguitas, where Hindu will meet his suspension date.
Newman vs. Buenos Aires CRC
How they arrive: With just one club below in the standings, it is not common to see Newman in such a low position. The cardinal only accumulates a victory and four losses, the last of the weekend in Hindu, by 20 to 14. The embroidery did not stand at the start, although almost all his defeats were for a few points of difference.
Buenos Aires is just a unit above its rival, with only two wins in the year. It comes from falling into victory against the los los los los tilos, for 39 to 25, in a clash in which he suffered the power of the Platense pack.
What do they look for: For Newman it is a good opportunity to recover after a counter -starter. It was not easy for embroidering to rearm after the frustration of 2024. However, he has plenty of players to get out of this situation.
The background: Fourteen years is Buenos Aires without winning Newman. The last celebration was in the 2011 season, by the minimum difference, 18 to 17. The cardinal has nine victories in a row on the lion.
Los Tilos vs. THE SILVER RC
How they arrive: Classic Platense in the Top 12 after nine seasons, since green and canaries faced the last year in two transcendental clashes due to the promotion in the first “A”. Finally, the two succeeded and play again in the PorteƱo rugby elite.
Los Tilos is the sensation and revelation of the first part. With four wins and an agonizing fall against Alumni, he is one of the escorts of almost with Belgrano Athletic. The cast led by Ramiro Bernal comes from achieving a great triumph in Biei, for 39 to 25.
The silver did not start with so much wind in favor, it is more, it was constructed of little by little recovery. First, overcoming San Luis, in the first platense clash of the year and last Saturday with a great victory against the SIC, for 24 to 19.
What do they look for: With two spectacular rugby holidays in the 2024 season, Los Tilos and La Plata stained the entire city to encourage a classic to all or nothing.
On that occasion they took a game each and in the end, the pass to the top 12 for this year went to both. In the previous one, the local team is very motivated and from least to greatest the Canary. Without favorite announced, the duel can be for either, although the locals arrive with a better current.
The background: Almost a decade later, Los Tilos and La Plata play again for the Top 12. The last duel between them was played in the Obrero neighborhood, where they matched 20 to 20. In 2012 it was the last victory of the Canary on foreign soil, by 18 to 7. The luses does not win a classic on their court in the highest category since the 2001 season, when it was imposed by 27 to 12.
Sic vs. CUBA
How they arrive: Two greats of the URBA face without getting a dominator present. The sic alternated good and bad, but already lost three of the five games he played. On Saturday before a team that seemed inferior in the previous one, silver, but instead it was totally different on the court, defeated it for 24 to 19.
Cuba had a bad start, losing in the first three days. However, on the fourth date he achieved recovery with an agonizing success at the summit. On Saturday, in Villa de Mayo, he won again, this time with offensive bonus against Regatas Bella Vista, for 33 to 9.
What do they look for: For two teams of such history and tradition and an important number of players in all their divisions, the replacement is always at hand for a guaranteed renewal. However, they are not yet comfortable, nor properly focused. This duel will be very important to know which way to follow.
The background: The classic has two consecutive victories of Cuba in the ditch, by 31 to 30 last year and for 31 to 25 in 2023. The sic does not beat University as a local since the 2022 season, when he did it for 34 to 16.
Regattas of Bella Vista vs. Belgrano Athletic
How they arrive: After a very good start, with three victories and a defeat, including resonants against Newman and Hindu Club, the fall against Cuba, by 33 to 9, surprised, because it was the first of the year with so many points against and without any Try in favor. Regattas, however, it still has a place among the top four of the Top 12.
Belgrano Athletic is one of the escorts of almost, with four victories and a single defeat. On Saturday he lost in the first half and things did not come out against San Luis. However, in the final stage it appeared in all its dimension to win it by win, 52 to 17.
What do they look for: For the present of both formations it will be one of the best matches of the date. With a good pack and one of the most sharp attacks in the tournament, Regatas wants to spend the page on the last Saturday. BAC arrives very lively and with the confidence of a very winning attack. The fight will be in the Forwards and the domain of formations and possession. With the ball in their hands both showed that they are very dangerous.
The background: Three consecutive wins carries Belgrano over Regatas, which won him for the last time in 2022, by the minimum difference, 18 to 17 at home. In Bella Vista, last year, there was a celebration of the Brown, for 24 to 13.
San Luis vs. ALMOST
How they arrive: A single victory and four losses marks the present of San Luis, far from the team that knew how to be revelation last year. The Marists beat Biei on the second date and did not do it anymore. They arrive as the least effective team (it only scored 90 goals) and a defense of the most violated, only surpassed by their residents of La Plata. 52 to 17 come from Belgrano Athletic.
It is almost the only pointer and undefeated of the Top 12. With a start very similar to that of 2024, Junior Murgier’s team comes from a great triumph against Alumni, by 29 to 22. After an unfavorable stage (0-14), in the second stage, with three tries he took a great victory over the last champion of Top 12.
What do they look for: San Luis showed solidity when he began to become strong on his court. Thus he managed to be compact and start playing based on his trust. It is what you have to recover after a very irregular start.
It is almost the reverse face, leader and pointer based on solidity and a lot of character. The Academy overcame adverse situations to stand firm in its habit of winning. He has five wire and goes for five.
The background: Two victories took almost on San Luis in the last tournament. The Platenses do not beat the academy on their court since 2023, by 36 to 31. Last year at the summit, those of San Isidro won by 20 to 17.
