Los Pumas third line Marcos Kremer assured that the team “lacked experience to win” in his analysis of the match that Argentina lost 26-23 to England in the duel for third place in the Rugby World Cup.
The 26-year-old Stade Francais de Paris player told the press that details were missing to win. “We didn’t play badly, but we had weak moments and it cost us dearly. If we went to extra time I’m sure we would win it,” remarked the third row, who achieved the historical record for being the player with the most tackles in a Rugby World Cup, totaling 92 hits. . “We lacked a little experience to finish in the last few meters. I’m sure the team gave everything, none of my teammates held anything back,” Kremer analyzed.
For his part, the scrum half, Tomás Cubelli indicated that “it is difficult to do an analysis” in advance. “Today it was either keeping a medal or being left empty-handed. We wanted to come back with the medal but it didn’t happen, sport is like that sometimes,” he said.
Later, he made his assessment of the defeat against England. “They did well at the beginning of the game. They won one on one, we lacked discipline and they scored a couple of penalties. But we were able to get back into the game, we did interesting things with the ball but it wasn’t enough,” said Kremer.
