The Argentina national rugby sevens team, 'Los Pumas 7s', had a poor start to the Dubai leg of the World Rugby Sevens Series, suffering defeats to Fiji and France in their first two Group A matches.
The match against Fiji began in the best possible way for Los Pumas, thanks to tries from Santino Zangara and Marcos Moneta, along with the conversion by Santiago Vera Feld. However, the end of the first half was a nightmare for the Argentinians due to three tries from the Oceanic side, who are one of the great powers in the category. In the second half, there was one try each, but it was not enough for Los Pumas, who ended up losing by only seven points.
Later, in the match against France, Los Pumas had a very poor performance and could not offer any resistance to their opponents, who delighted in try after try. France, the current Olympic champion in Rugby Sevens, crushed Argentina thanks to the tremendous sum of nine tries scored in just 14 minutes of the match, in addition to seven conversions. The only try for Los Pumas in this match was scored by Santiago Vera Feld, who also took care of the conversion.
