Americas Rugby News Rugby news from across the Americas!
Juan Imhoff scored yet again, crossing for a second half try as Racing 92 ran over Perpignan today in Paris. Imhoff’s score was a brilliant solo effort involving a kick though, regather and sprint to the line.
Imhoff’s team were 64-28 winners. The result sees the club sitting in 4th position while Perpignan are bottom and in grave danger of being relegated back to the Pro D2.
In scoring today Imhoff’s total number of tries as a professional rugby player now stands at 103. He is Argentina’s first ever player to reach 100 and is behind two other Americas’ wingers – DTH van der Merwe and Taku Ngwenya. Both players have 109 to their names.
Capped 35 times by Argentina, Imhoff is expected to play in RWC 2019. This is the case despite his last cap having been in RWC 2015. Argentina’s policy of only selecting from home was used from 2016-2018. Mario Ledesma ended it for the 2018 Rugby Championship.
