Capibaras lost again in Súper Rugby Américas

With a 29-24 victory at Córdoba Athletic’s ground, located in the Jardín Espinosa neighborhood, the Córdoba franchise strengthened its hold at the top of the table in a thrilling central derby. Dogos XV claimed a key matchup in the sixth round of Súper Rugby Américas by beating Capibaras XV, consolidating its place at the top of the continental competition with a very solid performance.

Dogos XV, coached by Diego Ghiglione, managed to impose its attacking rhythm at key moments and held the lead until the end, winning by five points in a result that reflects how evenly matched the tournament is. The team led by Nicolás Galatro once again repeated poor decisions, always relying on players from Rosario, who do not always produce the expected result.

The win carries special weight for the home side: it not only keeps Dogos XV in first place in the standings, but also reaffirms the strength of its home field. This clash also represents one of the emerging rivalries in professional Argentine rugby: the Córdoba-Litoral rivalry is no longer played only among traditional clubs, but now also on the continental stage of Súper Rugby Américas.

It was Bruno Heit, from Paraná, who put Capibaras ahead on the scoreboard after a great kick through the posts in the 8th minute. But Dogos responded with a try in the 15th minute through Juan Greising Revol, while Julián Hernández missed the conversion (5-3).

Hernández made up for it and extended the score with a penalty (8-3). Then it took until the 33rd minute for the Córdoba side to strike again with a try by Facundo Pueyrredón and a conversion by Mateo Soler to make it 15-3 at halftime. Dogos continued to control much of the action and, after an error in a Capibaras lineout, reached the in-goal again through Luciano Avaca, who, with Hernández’s conversion, made it 22-3.

With a man advantage, the Litoral franchise reacted and Ignacio Palillo grounded the ball in the in-goal with pure power. Then Juan Bautista Baronio added the conversion for the extra two points and cut the deficit (22-10).

It was Capibaras’ best moment, and with a try from fly-half Ignacio Dogliani and a conversion by Baronio, they pulled within striking distance on the scoreboard (22-17). But Dogos took control of the match again and struck once more through Mateo Soler, who touched down at full speed for the fourth try of the night. Facundo Rodríguez then added the conversion (29-17).

In the closing stages of the match, Ignacio Landini grounded the ball in the in-goal and cut into the deficit, also earning a defensive bonus point for his team despite the loss. The try was again converted by Baronio to make the final score 29-24.
