The Argentine rugby team Los Pumas has been in the city of Santa Fe since last Sunday night to face the match corresponding to the fourth date of the Rugby Championship, which will take place next Saturday, September 7th starting at 4 pm at the Brigadier López stadium of the Club Atlético Colón and with the French referee Pierre Brousset.
A loss in the Pumas camp
The rematch between Argentina and Australia is coming to the Colón stadium, and for this, the team led by Felipe Contepomi trained on Tuesday morning at the facilities that CRAI has on the highway, basically in what has to do with ball movements and recovery. This Wednesday will be the high intensity on-field rehearsal for Gitano. These training sessions will allow the Argentine coach to define the lineup that will play the rematch against the Wallabies next Saturday in the capital of Santa Fe.

One of the most important developments in the national camp is the absence of Tomás Cubelli. The 35-year-old back, who trained at Belgrano Athletic, returned to the squad due to the injury suffered by Lautaro Bazán Vélez. The Argentine back will not be able to play against the Australians due to a muscle injury.
Instead of Cubelli, Eliseo Morales was called up, who had been called up by Argentina XV to play the friendly against Brazil next Sunday. We should remember that Rafaela’s Pedro Rubiolo will also not be available, due to HIA protocol, with Bautista Pedemonte due to a muscle trauma, and with Agustín Creevy who played his last match last weekend in La Plata.
