- Newman secured the Top 12 de la URBA title by defeating San Isidro Club 15-3 at CASI, ending a half-century wait.
- Marcelo Brandi and Bautista Bosch scored the tries, and Gonzalo Gutiérrez Taboada added a penalty and a conversion and set the URBA playoffs scoring mark at 182 points.
- Disciplinary moments included a yellow card to SIC’s Nicanor Acosta at 12 minutes and a 20-minute red to Newman’s Faustino Santarelli at 18.
- A dominant defensive effort, physical forward play, and territorial kicking kept SIC scoreless from open play in a tight, low-scoring final.
- Against a club with 27 URBA titles and after years of near-misses, Newman broke through and now advances to the Nacional de Clubes final against Marista on November 15.
