In front of a great crowd and on a very hot afternoon-evening, for the second day of the Súper Rugby Américas, the coastal franchise became strong in Sauce Viejo and achieved a resounding victory against Cobras from Brazil by 54 to 12. Next Friday, March 6 in Buenos Aires, Capibaras XV will face a tough test against Pampas XV.

Capibaras won clearly in Sauce Viejo

In compliance with the second round of the Súper Rugby Américas, Capibaras XV defeated Cobras from Brazil with absolute clarity at the facilities that Santa Fe Rugby Club has in Sauce Viejo, on a very hot day and in front of more than 5,000 people by 54 to 12 under the refereeing of Simón Larrubia from the Buenos Aires Rugby Union.

After the change of location following the first round, the local team struck from the start. With great hand play in the combination between backs and forwards, it was Lucas Bur (with a past in the MLR) who managed to score the first try.

From there, the visitors committed an indiscipline rarely seen: in just four minutes Cleber Dias, Endy Willian Pinheiro, and captain Lorenzo Massari were cautioned. During that period, Capibaras capitalized on the situation with two penalty tries awarded by Simón Larrubia.

Although Cobras had to face that passage with three fewer players, the coastal team could not breach the Brazilian ingoal. Until, midway through the first half, Francisco Lluch scored the try that granted the bonus point to those led by Nicolás Galatro.

The coastal offensive did not stop: Lautaro Cipriani broke through on the right wing and sealed the fifth try. Cobras hinted at a reaction thanks to a well-finished maul by Matheus Cláudio, but just before the end of the first half, Lluch appeared again to score his double and establish the 40-7 partial.

The second half did not have the same intensity as the first: the game became scrappy and both franchises showed errors in handling the ball. As it happened in Córdoba, Rosko Specman left his mark by scoring in the ingoal after a final sprint that left the Capibaras defense behind.

After that try, the local team tried to break the visitors' defense again but could not achieve it. As in the first half, Cobras fell back into indiscipline, and Joao Lucas Marino saw the yellow card for a tackle without the ball. Minutes later, Franco Rossetto, after a great collective maneuver, scored on the left wing to seal his try.

After the restart, Felipe Villagrán devised a high-flying individual play and also scored on the same wing as Rossetto to decree the final 54-12.

Franco Rosetto from Paraná, who scored a try, stated that "I saw the team well, we validated what we did with Peñarol. We played a good match. In the first half, we showed good passages, in the second we felt the fatigue, they came at us but we had no trouble winning it. The most important thing was that we continued to have good performances against a very competitive team."
