Pampas Claim First Súper Rugby Américas Title

Ending Dogos XV’s recent run, the win rewards coach Juan Manuel Leguizamón for a disciplined, possession-led game plan.

Overview

  • Pampas defeated Dogos XV 26–17 to win the final at Córdoba Athletic, a victory that closed a chapter of prior losses to Dogos and gave the franchise its first SRA trophy.
  • The match featured tries from Agustín Fraga, Tobías Wade and Jerónimo Ulloa plus penalties by Estanislao Renthel that together produced the decisive 26–17 scoreline.
  • Pampas controlled possession, defended with discipline and used forward strength in close play to stifle Dogos, a tactical shift credited by coaches and reporters for the turnaround.
  • Nahuel Zunini entered late, forced a turnover that led to a penalty for Pampas and then left with a right-adductor injury; Lucas Marguery lifted the trophy as captain after the final whistle.
  • The title, refereed by Damián Schneider, puts Pampas alongside Jaguares XV and Dogos XV with one SRA crown each while Peñarol remains the competition’s most successful club with three wins.
