In his first game in the November window, The Pumas they defeated Welsh for a clearing 52-28 in Cardiff Principalityin a key clash thinking about the World Rugby Rankings and its value for the draw of the World Cup 2027. I relived the meeting on Disney+ Premium Plan.
The start for the Argentine team could not have been better. With control of the ball and territory, he began to expose the weaknesses of a rival who is not going through his best moment. In less than 10 minutes, those of Felipe Contepomi They had already reached the try twice.
First Pedro Delgado He used all his power to support with just enough, and a while later, Geronimo Prisciantelli took advantage of a good kick Santiago Carreras to stretch the difference. It seemed like it was a knockout blow, but the locals recovered.
With a lot of self-love and the support of his audience, the Dragon tied him with conquests of Thomas Williams and Dewi Lake. We had to shuffle and give again for Los Pumas.
The match was very even and disputed, and after an unfair action, including a kick from the floor, Ben Thomas saw the yellow one. This allowed the Albiceleste team to breathe, and their fullback took the lead again with a penalty.
Once the storm passed, Argentina recovered its game, and taking advantage of the spaces, a new flurry of tries came with Simon Benitez Cruz and Matthew Carrerasthe latter after a great kick from Pablo Materato go into the break 31-14 up.
The Pumas They took advantage of the clean and jerk and from the start in the complement they scored again with the speed of Bautista Delguyin which he was also reprimanded Thomas Williams. The local team’s score was very far away and despite the discount of Jac Morganthe Argentine victory was never in danger.
The income of Louis Rees-Zammit brought some defensive attention, but the Contepomi They knew how to close the roads well. The remaining time allowed the substitutes to have quality minutes, and gave Prisciantelli the chance to support again and score a double. Near the end, and just for statistics, the locals narrowed the difference again.
great triumph of The Pumas in Cardiff, which ended with a full orchestra try Santiago Grondona. With solvency and hierarchy, they took a very good step thinking about the ranking and the World Cup draw.
