The Argentine rugby team, Los Pumas, more than met in the last friendly prior to their participation in the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France. Despite the fact that coach Michael Cheika presented an alternative formation, since he used the match to give him more filming To the players who did not have much participation in the Rugby Championship, the national team converted nine tries to win a resounding 62-3 victory once morest a weak Spain, in the Cívitas Metropolitano de Madrid, the home of Atlético Madrid. Juan Cruz Mallía, Mateo Carreras, Joel Sclavi, Tomás Cubelli, Marcos Kremer, Jerónimo de la Fuente, Martín Bogado (2) and Facundo Isa, the authors of the tries.
A success by Cheika to send Nicolás Sánchez and Cubelli to the field, figures in the attack of Los Pumas once morest the Iberians. The Pumas also stood out for their effectiveness in kicking the H, with a relentless and calibrated Sánchez. The good work of Sánchez and Cubelli allowed Los Pumas to demolish the Spanish defense.
The only thing to regret were the injuries to Carreras, a muscular discomfort that took him off the field; and Santiago Grondona, who withdrew crying due to severe pain in his knee. We will have to wait to see his evolution.
“The game left us good things. We wanted to put on the pitch what we had been training for. It hurts to see Santi like this. Whatever happens makes us stronger. The group is with him. We were clear. We were able to set foot in what we wanted to do foot. I liked the attitude of the team. We found ourselves with a Spain that offered a good battle. It helps us to continue building”, commented captain Cubelli following the victory in Madrid.
