The top category of rugby of Buenos Aires its activity begins from the 14:00 hours. I followed all live parties in Disney+.

One of the outstanding meetings will be the one that will hold Belgrano and San Luis. The leader will visit the summit, a stage prepared for the farewell of Agustín Creevy With the Marist.

Meanwhile, Newman The faces will be seen with Hindu and the ALMOST with Alumni. The date will be completed with Regattas of Bella Vista (with Santiago Cordero) vs Cuba, Sic vs La Plata and the Los Tilos vs Buenos Aires.

Almost vs. Alumni

How they arrive: After four consecutive successes “The Academy” lost again. This time it was in the clash against the pointer, Belgrano Athletic, who defeated him in Viceroy del Pino by 27 to 18. He almost remains second and still with an advantage over the sic, his neighbor who follows him at nine points. Alumini lost again and moves away from the playoffs. The fall against Newman, by 30 to 22 was the fifth in a row, which leaves turtles in a very complicated situation since it takes him away from the semifinals.

What do they look for: For almost the great objective is the classification, one of the premises that was drawn at the beginning of the year and that justified by its regularity in almost the entire development of the Top 12. Alumni is far from the ideal, despite all the effort he made to stay with chances. For different reasons the results were not given and because of the amount of defeats (nine in total) were the faithful reflection of how far their best versions were.

The background: He almost won in Tortuguitas in the first wheel, by 29 to 22, victory that joined last year in the cathedral, when he thrashed Alumni by 55 to 20, the result with the most of many of the last three decades.

Alumini does not win in San Isidro since the 2023 season, when it was imposed by 45 to 24.

San Luis vs. Belgrano Athletic

How they arrive: In the permanence zone the Marists arrive with a triumph and four losses in the last five games. They come from an performance that was close to getting victory, but ultimately meant a new stumble against Cuba, for 50 to 40. Agustín Creevy’s farewell will then occur within the framework of a special day, for the retirement of the former captain of Los Pumas against the only pointer.

Belgrano Athletic won before his main opponent of the season, the almost, in a clash that was very balanced before his escort. The victory by 27 to 18 was the eleventh that he achieved consecutively, which marks the great moment that the brown team is going through this year.

What do they look for: San Luis is only three points from Buenos Aires, the club that is in the sights to try to avoid the playoffs for permanence. He will receive BAC on a very special day, the farewell of his prodigal son, Agustín Creevy, the player who was the symbol of Los Pumas and his club.

In front will be Belgrano Athletic, the best team of the 2025 season, with a huge difference over the rest and a passage to the almost sealed finals. In a very special afternoon, the brown will go for a new victory on a court with a different frame. Party of many emotions at the summit.

The background: After the Bac win over San Luis from the first wheel, for 52 to 17, they return to the summit with the antecedent of the Marist triumph last year, 29 to 27. Belgrano has three consecutive losses in La Plata, he does not win from the 2021 season, when he did it for 35 to 16.

Regattas of Bella Vista vs. CUBA

How they arrive: With a positive balance according to his latest performances in the Top 12, Regatas receives Cuba without being able to affirm one week to the other. Those of Bella Vista lost to La Plata for 16 to 13, in their third defeat of the last five presentations.

In front of the University Club of Buenos Aires, which added its seventh success after beating San Luis, for 50 to 40 in a 90 -point comparison. Cuba won after two falls in a row and still dreams of a formidable final sprint to be able to qualify among the four above.

What do they look for: With an advantage of Cuba over regattas, the two play all or nothing in a key game to reach the classification. Today the two teams are almost two Newman wins, the fourth of the table, so that a defeat would virtually leave them outside the play offs.

The background: In Bella Vista, Regatas has two consecutive victories over Cuba, last year, by 35 to 27 and in 2023, by 36 to 7. Cuba, which won the match of the first wheel in Villa de Mayo, by 33 to 9, does not beat Regatas as a visitor since the 2021 season, when he defeated him by 35 to 3.

Sic vs. THE SILVER RC

How they arrive: With a key victory against Biei in Victoria, by 35 to 23, the sic is consolidated in third place, in a year where it was not as dominant as its custom. “Los Zanjeros” won in four of the last days, with better seconds than the first parts.

La Plata beat Regatas for 16 to 13, in a victory that he needed after suffering four defeats. The Canaries have to avoid the last position, today located with greater peace of mind by the nine points of difference that they took out one of their neighbors, San Luis.

What do they look for: With Belgrano and almost above his position, and a certain distance from them, the sic has the obligation to add to consolidate as the best third of the top 12, since behind he has several clubs on the bid for the classification.

La Plata added four vital points against Regatas Bella Vista that have it with a considerable advantage over the last one, San Luis. The goal is to add from here to the end to get out of permanence.

The background: La Plata surprised in the first wheel by winning the SIC, for 24 to 19 after eight years without being able to achieve it. In that period, the Boulogne club had won the five games they played. The last on his court was in the 2023 season, with the victory by 35 to 31.

Los Tilos vs. Buenos Aires CRC

How they arrive: Breaking barriers as usual this year, the two wins against Hindu Club in the same season are a faithful reflection of platense news.

The tilos comes from beating the elephant, in Don Torcuato, for 24 to 10, a victory with bonus that keeps them expectant, already shot of the classification.

Buenos Aires is going through one of the weakest campaigns from its return to Top 12. With only one triumph in the last five dates, the lion is committed to maintaining the category, at present that has it only three points away from the last, San Luis. On Saturday they lost in victory against the SIC, for 35 to 23.

What do they look for: In Barrio Obrero there is a positive climate for the great campaign of his first team and the intact possibility of being again in a semifinal, an instance in which the councils was only semifinalist once, in the 2002 season.

Biei is the opposite face, with only three victories during this year, there were few responses that they gave in the face of the tournament. The final part of the same is subtracted and must be rooted to bring out how good they did until very recently and that was not reflected in the current campaign.

The background: After three seasons, the Los Tilos and Biei again faced in Victoria, with the triumph of the green team by 39 to 25. In Barrio Obrero, they have not been measured since 2022, when the lion won by a point, 36 to 35.

Newman vs. Hindu

How they arrive: The date of the date will open the day in Benavídez, since Newman and Hindu will advance the start for 14.05hs. Newman arrives at a great moment, with six followed successes that place it in the fourth location of the table. In Tortuguitas, with two tries on the end, they took a hard encounter against Alumni, by 30 to 22.

Hindu Club was very far, the fall against the losses on his court for 24 to 10, left them very distanced from the classification. Newman is a direct rival, if they want to continue with Chances, they must win, and if possible with the offensive bonus.

What do they look for: After a hegemony that remained for years for Hindu Club, Newman got used to winning him in the

last times. In today’s embroidery comes better, although in this type of matches nothing can be assured. It is already demonstrated by the top 12 at the end of each day, where except for exceptions, anyone can make any. This duel can confirm many things from here at the end for both clubs.

The background: After the two triumphs followed by the Cardinal in 2024, by 40 to 22 and 40 to 7, Hindu Club cut the streak in Don Torcuato, when in April he won the embroidery for 20 to 14. In Benavídez, the last success of the elephant was in the 2023 season, by 34 to 18
