Argentina XV vs USA – ARC 2017 Full Match

The Argentina XV and the USA completed to a draw on Saturday. For the second time in twelve months the teams fought out a match in which neither side was able to win.

The home side was outplayed by the Eagles in the opening half. The USA’s lead, though, was overcome early in the second half. The South Americans appeared on course for a win only for the Eagles to repeat 2016 to knock-over the Argentina XV at the death.

The Argentina XV is officially the country’s ‘A’ side. For this reason it was not a test match and rankings points were not on the line. The UAR has a decision to make as to whether or not to play as Los Pumas in 2018.
