Overview
- The competition opens with all first-round matches kicking off at 16:00 Saturday, including a Disney+ broadcast of Jockey de Córdoba vs Duendes RC.
- The 16-team field is arranged in four groups of four, with Zone 1 featuring Marista RC, Gimnasia y Esgrima de Rosario, Mendoza RC and Tucumán Rugby.
- Tucumán Rugby hosts Mendoza RC in Yerba Buena, and coach Isaías Courel said 12 players are unavailable due to call-ups to the Tarucas franchise.
- Parallel playoffs to secure places in Torneo del Interior B will also run Saturday, highlighted by Sociedad Sportiva vs Neuquén RC in La Carrindanga under referee Esteban Baeck.
- The stakes extend beyond the title because the TDI A winner advances to the Nacional de Clubes final, and defending champion Marista starts its repeat bid on the road in Rosario.
