Super Rugby Americas 2026 – Week Three – ARN Guide

Week three of Super Rugby Americas (SRA) 2026 features two Friday fixtures, one Saturday match and one on Sunday. The Friday night double sees Los Pampas facing Los Capibaras in the first-ever meeting between the teams in SRA. The other Friday match is also an Argentine derby as Los Tarucas play host to Los Dogos in Tucumán.

The first and second week results of SRA 2026 saw Argentine teams dominating. Week three is thus an opportunity for some potential change. It will not be easy for Selknam who travel to face Peñarol in Montevideo without 22 players due to the Chile international uncapped match against Italy XV.

Meanwhile, one of Yacare and Os Cobras will earn their first win of the SRA 2026 season in the final match of the week. That is, assuming, they do not compete to a draw. Both Yacare and Os Cobras have bonus points while Peñarol are rock-bottom without any thus far.
