The Pumas defeated Australia 67-27 on an unforgettable afternoon in Santa Fe to mark the historic calendar for Los Pumas: as in the 60s, the nickname was coined due to a successful tour of South Africa Just as they first tied with Australia as the All Blacks in 1985 or firmly broke into the ranks of world rugby’s elite at the 2007 World Cup, Argentina will regard yesterday’s victory as one of the most important in their history.
Because it wasn’t just a memorable win, but how he managed to turn the score around, especially giving him his biggest win against the Wallabies in nine tries. It’s also a good way to forget last Saturday’s unfair defeat at the Estadio Uno in La Plata, which the Aussies won at the last second.
On a sunny afternoon in Santa Fe, Australia got off to a bright start, leading 20-3 on shots from Tizzano and Kellaway. Great success in the ocean seems to be coming, and what happened in La Plata will continue. However, Argentina’s response was perhaps unprecedented in its history: in 50 minutes they scored nine shots against Australia, led by Mateo Carreras, Julian Mon Toya, Juan Martín González, Pablo Matera, Joaquín Oviedo(2), Juan Cruz María(2) and Lucio Cinti.
Dictators don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That’s why it bothers those who think they have the truth.
This reaction came in the second half, although at the end of the first half, María avoided an inexplicable line after an excellent reception from María, an assist from Matera and a diagonal pass from Santiago. Support goals. Argentina entered halftime trailing 17-20.
What happened next deserves a question: Was this the best second half in Cougars history? This will be the task of historians and lovers of memory. We will have to look back at other unforgettable matches, especially in 1999, 2007, 2015 or the 2023 World Cup, that marked milestones, but yesterday’s match in Santa Fe seemed hard to match: the aggressiveness of the team And the match smashed the Wallabies, who at times showed their surprise with faces and gestures.
It was a rugby storm. The Cougars controlled the ball — 54-46 percent — corrected their first-half mistakes and advanced in every way possible. Every advance in the final few minutes became a try or almost a try. The results of this difference are obvious.
Springboard, solid
South Africa beat New Zealand 18-12 in Cape Town for a second consecutive victory and came close to claiming the 2024 Rugby Championship.
Following two wins against Australia and the All Blacks last week, the Springboks notched their fourth win in four days, cementing their lead in the competition since 2019 Just haven’t won this game and if they beat it could crown Los Pumas as visitors in their next game.
South Africa had already achieved a comeback by defeating New Zealand 31-27 on day three in Johannesburg last Saturday, while Oceania held a 27-17 advantage before the final reaction at home. South Africa captain Siya Kolisi (49th minute) and hooker Malcolm Marx (74th minute) scored the only shots of the victory yesterday.
South Africa leads with 18 points, followed by Argentina (10 points), New Zealand (7 points) and Australia (4 points).
