This Saturday May 31 The Seventh date of the URBA Top 12 Macro Cup presented by Zurich. Look at the formations of all teams!
The highest category of Buenos Aires begins its activity from the 15:10 hours. I followed all live parties in Disney+.
In a weekend with great games, Belgrano He will play before SICwhile the leader, ALMOST, will face Bella Vista regattas.
The activity will be completed with: Alumini vs San Luis, Cuba vs Los Tilos, La Plata vs Newman and Buenos Aires CRC vs Hindu.
Alumni vs. San Luis
How they arrive: After three consecutive losses, Alumni regained his memory with a worked win against Hindu Club, 35-31. Local on his site of Tortuguitas, due to the suspension of the court of Don Torcuato, the last champion had an performance from least to greatest, reversing a 24-8 against at the beginning of the second half.
In just 20 minutes, Alumni hilvanó a perfect streak in which he scored 27 points to pass the front, 35-24. The tries of the elephant on the closure gave drama to a very hot end. San Luis was local at the summit, but could not before the leader, the almost, who clearly exceeded it by 37-17. The Marists won on the second date and then chained four consecutive falls.
What do they look for: With a balanced record of three wins and three losses, Alumni seeks to affirm after some dates of irregularity. In what is coming, it will have a luxury reinforcement: Tobias Wade, which returns to the URBA rugby after passing through the Seven.
San Luis needs to add again. He is last in the table and, except for the triumph against Biei, failed to affirm himself. His defense is, until now, the most defeated in the tournament.
The background: After a 2024 in which Alumni won by minimum margins (18-17 and 19-16), San Luis returns to Tortuguitas, where he won for the last time in 2023, 16-15. A curiosity: since 2022, all the meetings between them were defined for less than five points.
Almost vs. Bella Vista regattas
How they arrive: With six consecutive wins, he almost receives Regatas with the favorite poster. Invict and pointer, Junior Murgier’s team comes from a solid performance against San Luis, to which he won 37-17, with 22 points of his scorer, Juan Akemeier.
Regatas had a surprising start with victories against Newman and Hindu, but then lowered his performance and lost the last two games, in front of Cuba and Belgrano. Last Saturday he fell in Bella Vista against Brown, 29-21.
What do they look for: The Academy is going through a great moment, with a game based on firm defense, good obtaining and great forcefulness every time the ball has. Regatas has a young squad that is enhanced when its forwards are fully. Alejo Barrera, Tryman of the tournament, scored seven of the 18 tries of the team. However, the team must adjust their discipline: before Cuba and Belgrano committed infractions that Moroni and Landó effectively capitalized.
The background: In the last 30 crosses between the two, he almost won 20. Last year the triumphs were distributed: the academy won 41-18 in the cathedral and Regatas won 30-24 in Bella Vista.
Belgrano Athletic vs. SIC
How they arrive: The classic of the date will have a new chapter in Virrey del Pino, where Belgrano and the sic will try not to lose footprint to the leader, the almost. Bac is an escort, with five victories and a single defeat, precisely before the pointer. The brown comes from a triumph in Bella Vista by 29-21, thanks to a great second stage in which he added 20 points to turn a partial 14-9.
For the SIC, the 38-31 over Cuba was a relief that can mark a turning point. After the Moroni prison, which put the 31-19 for University at 19 minutes of the second half, everything seemed defined. However, the ditch reacted with three tries and took a great triumph, in addition to the offensive bonus.
What do they look for: With a tradition that transcends time, the classic between Belgrano and the SIC is played again with a special seasoning: the Alejandro Conti Cup, in tribute to the remembered coach who left a deep mark on both clubs. Belgrano, the last runner -up, maintains a solid base that keeps it competitive. In front, the sic continues its replacement stage and a young litter that begins to assume prominence.
The background: The sic dominates the history: in the last three decades he takes 19 advantage games to Belgrano. In 2023 he won on both wheels (34-31 and 32-24). BAC does not beat the Zanjero in Virrey del Pino since 2017 (24-3).
Cuba vs. The lumps
How they arrive: After losing an incredible game against the SIC (38-31), Cuba returns home in Villa de Mayo to try to channel an irregular campaign: he won two and lost four of the six games played.
In front will be the great revelation of the tournament: Los Tilos, which crosses a brilliant start, crowned by the triumph of the weekend in the classic against La Plata, 16-9 in Barrio Obrero.
What do they look for: University did not have a good start, but he has shown improvements in his game. The defeat against the sic was surprising by how the game was held, which seemed to have it controlled. Los Tilos lives a great present, the result of the collective work he did after his return to the Top 12. The Platense team holds its good performance thanks to a forwards pack that marks the differences.
The background: They did not face each other since 2022, the last participation of the tilos in the Top 12. That year, Cuba won both games: 40-3 and 32-17. Those of Barrio Obrero have not celebrated in Villa de Mayo since 2004 (15-10).
La Plata RC vs. Newman
How they arrive: With irregular beginnings, La Plata and Newman are measured in Manuel Gonnet with the urgency of adding after falling into four of the six dates disputed. The canaries come from losing the classic against the los, 16-9. On the third date, they had surpassed San Luis in the first duel that the city had this year.
Newman is going through a transition stage, after several tournaments as the protagonist. With a new technical staff and a team under construction, the good news was the return of Gonzalo Gutiérrez Taboada, who scored a full house in the victory against Biei, 18-13.
What do they look for: Both teams need a change of course. This crossing in La Plata can represent a turning point to start adding more regularly.
The background: The background: They face Manuel Gonnet again, where Newman won for the last time in 2022 (26-24). La Plata does not exceed embroidered at home since 2017 (30-22).
Buenos Aires CRC vs. Hindu Club
How they arrive: From the seventh to the eleventh place there are five clubs with the same record: two wins and four losses. Among them are Buenos Aires and Hindu, who did not meet the expectations in this seasonal start. Biei played a very even match against Newman, who lost 18-13 after an adverse first time (18-3). In the second half the lion reacted, but did not reach him: a try and the points of Tomás Bunge sealed the result.
What do they look for: Neighbors of other times in the area of Route 202, the lion and the elephant starred remembered duels in the 1990s. Then, with the growth of Hindu and the descent of Buenos Aires, the crosses became more sporadic. The victory last year of Biei over Hindu cut a long streak of defeats against the club of Don Torcuato. Both arrive in Victoria with the same need: return to triumph.
The background: After an extensive period without victories, Buenos Aires beat Hindu by 26-17 in a local condition. In his golden era, from 1996 to the present, the elephant faced the lion 16 times and beat him on all those occasions.
