Argentina Sevens Blanks Uruguay 33–0 to Claim Mar del Plata Super Seven

The home tournament doubled as a controlled run-out to integrate a transitioning squad ahead of SVNS stops in Singapore then Perth.

Overview

  • Argentina conceded only two tries across five matches and kept Uruguay scoreless in the final after routing Brazil 43-0 and beating Newbery 38-12.
  • Luciano González, recently recognized as the world’s best player for 2025, scored twice and was the standout in the title match.
  • Coach Santiago Gómez Cora used the event to blend six recent SVNS debutants with experienced leaders as part of a broader generational shift.
  • The squad will hold a five-day camp in Pinamar before traveling to the Singapore and Perth SVNS legs, with Joaquín Pellandini rehabbing a muscle tear and captain Santiago Mare expected to be available after a precautionary rest.
  • Following a last-place finish in Dubai and a runner-up in Cape Town, Argentina sits sixth in the SVNS standings with seven stages remaining.
