The Pumas fell 26-23 to England and took fourth place in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The team led by Michael Cheika missed the bronze medal against La Rosa, their executioner on the first date of group D.
After a first period in which they lost 16-10, the Albiceleste team reacted in the second and took a provisional lead on the scoreboard, after two minutes, with a try by Santiago Carreras converted by Rosario’s Emiliano Boffelli (17-16 ).
But an error at the start once again led to an advantage for the English team, who scored a try through Theo Dan, later endorsed by kicker Owen Farrell (23-17).
Shortly after the end and with the score 23-26, the Tucuman fly-half Nicolás Sánchez, the Argentine team’s all-time leading scorer, finished off a penalty that went next to a post, wasting the chance to take the match to overtime.
In this way, Los Pumas could not repeat what they achieved in 2007, when they were left with the last step of the podium, after defeating local France 34-10, also at the Stade de France.
