“The difference in quality was evident”: what the international press said about the win by Los Pumas

The Pumas beat Wales 52-28 in Cardiff and the international press surrendered at the feet of the team led by Felipe Contepomi. The best of rugby, on Disney+ Premium Plan.

Planet Rugby Indian: “This international fixture was an indicator of the current position of these two teams in the world order, as the rise of Argentina has coincided with the marked decline of Wales as a team in recent years. The Pumas have been a sight to behold in the Rugby Championship over the last few years, consolidating their squad in various positions, as well as their clarity of play and their confidence. They more than demonstrated this on Sunday, with stellar performances from players such as Mateo and Santiago Carreras, Simón Benítez Cruz and Gerónimo Prisciantelli. Although, after a day with ups and downs, the difference in quality was evident”.

Rugby 365 he ignored: “The Pumas are too elegant for the energetic Wales. The home team was brave and showed a lot of grit, but they simply couldn’t keep up with Argentina’s pace and execution for most of the match.”

Wales Online highlighted: “Wales offered a very different performance, but something tells its own painful story. It was a usual result for the Dragon, but their performance was very different. Four tries scored, seven conceded and 52 points conceded speak for themselves and show that the team is still fighting to get out of the hole in which it finds itself.”

SA RugbyMag held: “Argentina crushed Wales. The 52-28 victory gave Los Pumas their highest score and largest margin of victory against the Dragons. Los Pumas, who beat both the All Blacks and the Wallabies in this year’s Rugby Championship, led from the start of the game.”

Finally, Irish Examiner he brandished: “Argentina were relentless in attack and racked up points to eclipse their previous biggest victory over Wales: a 33-11 win in Cardiff in 2021. The blue and white tide advanced throughout the match.”
