A new attendance record was set in Super Rugby Americas (SRA) on Friday. Los Tarucas played host to Los Pampas in a contest between teams based in Tucumán and Buenos Aires. The visitors were 43-22 winners in Tucumán.
Los Tarucas were beaten at their home ground: La Caldera del Parque; yet, they came away as winners off-the-field as 12,554 spectators attended the match. The Tucumán team joined SRA in 2025.
SRA expansion in 2026 saw Los Capibaras joining. Early signs are that the team based in Argentina’s Litoral has fit in well to SRA. Additional expansion to SRA is expected in coming seasons. Possibilities go beyond Argentina to include Chile and Uruguay.
