SRA 2024 – Dogos vs Pampas – ARN Guide

The Argentine derby will take place in Córdoba on Friday. The top of the table clash set Los Dogos at home against Los Pampas. Could it be a preview of the Super Rugby Americas 2024 Final? Both teams have been the most consistent this season; however, Los Dogos are coming off a less than ideal performance against Yacare.

NOTES
PREDICTION

Los Pampas are ready to go. The bye round combined with Los Dogos’ showing against Yacare suggest that this is a prime opportunity for a first win over the Córdoba side. Can it be done? Absolutely. The time is right for Los Pampas to get the job done. The Buenos Aires side has players in top form. ARN projects a Pampas win by 5 points.
