Pumas Grind Out 19-14 Win over Italy After Late Yellow Cards in Nations Championship
Argentina’s first win since July came after three tries and a late Italy penalty try kept the Nations Championship match close.
- On Saturday, Argentina beat Italy 19-14 in a Nations Championship match held in Genoa, securing their 10th straight win over the Italians.
- Despite enjoying possession, Argentina struggled with errors throughout the match; Italy made 174 tackles, more than the visitors, but failed to win against the Pumas in 18 years.
- Winger Rodrigo Isgro scored in the 55th minute and Mateo Carreras followed five minutes later to extend the lead. Two yellow cards reduced the Pumas to 13 men, allowing Italy to force a penalty try.
- Climbing the Southern Hemisphere standings, Argentina earned their second victory of the competition and moved to 11 points, third place. Italy earned a losing bonus point but will finish bottom of the Northern Hemisphere group.
- Next weekend, Argentina face Northern Hemisphere leaders France in Paris, then travel to Udine on November 21 to play Fiji. Italy's fifth consecutive loss leaves them eliminated from contention.
