The Argentine rugby team decisively defeated Kenya 24-0 and subsequently achieved a closer victory over Great Britain 19-14 at the Vancouver Sevens. This Saturday, they will close the group phase facing France at 17:20 Argentine time at BC Place Stadium.
The debut against Kenya was completely dominated by the Pumas 7's, who controlled possession and territory throughout the match. Moneta shone in the first half with three tries, while Joaquín Pellandini sealed the victory in the second half. In the game against Great Britain, the Argentine team showed great performance in the first half, achieving a score of 19-0 with tries from Luciano González (2) and Matteo Graziano.
The match against France will be crucial to define the final positions of Group A and the matchups for the next phase of the tournament. Led by Martín Gaitán due to the absence of their coach Santiago Gómez Cora, the Pumas 7's will seek to maintain their excellent performance on the world circuit.
After securing their place in the quarter-finals with two victories on the opening day, the Argentine team positions itself as a serious candidate to repeat their success in Vancouver and aim for a fourth title. Despite Great Britain's reaction in the second half, the Argentine team managed to maintain the lead obtained in the first half.
For its part, France, the current Olympic champions, come into the match with a loss to Great Britain and a victory over Kenya under their belt.
