Third round of the Copa Santa Fe de rugby this weekend | OneFootball

It is worth remembering that in this 2026 edition, the tournament is being played divided into two zones, one featuring clubs affiliated with the Unión Santafesina and the other with representatives of the Unión Rosarina.

In every case, the early hours of Saturday afternoon will bring action to different parts of Santa Fe province, with matches that will begin to set the tone at the top of the standings in each group.

Starting with what will happen in the central-northern area of the province, the group made up of USR teams has 3 leaders with a perfect record after the first two rounds. One of them is Alma Juniors of Esperanza, which faces a risky road test as it visits Santa Fe Rugby, a team looking to bounce back from last round’s derby defeat and start picking up points.

Another of the leaders is Universitario de Santa Fe, which will be at home at the Barrio Las Delicias stadium in Querandí, aiming for its third victory to remain near the top. Completing this Saturday the 30th’s schedule, there will be action in Cabaña Leiva and in the city of Rafaela, where La Salle and CRAR will host Brown de San Vicente and Cha Roga de Santo Tomé, respectively.

It is worth noting that the other group leader, CRAI, will have a bye, and that there will also be action in the development group with matches in the cities of Coronda, Sunchales, and San Jorge. So far, the standings in the top division are led by Universitario, Alma Juniors, and CRAI, all with 10 points, followed by Brown with 6 and CRAR with 5.

As for the Rosario teams taking part in this new edition of the Copa Santa Fe de Rugby, the third round action begins this Thursday, when at the 4 Hectáreas grounds, Jockey hosts Old Resian in the only early fixture of the round.

Then on Saturday, also in Zone 2 of the southern provincial mini-tournament, Gimnasia y Esgrima de Rosario will host Pampas de Rufino at its stadium, while Logaritmo will be at home against Jockey de Venado Tuerto.

Meanwhile, in Group 1, all three matches will be played simultaneously on Saturday starting at 2 p.m. There, Gimnasia de Pergamino will host Regatas & Belgrano de San Nicolás, while Caranchos faces Universitario de Rosario and Provincial takes on Duendes.
