Los Pumas lose to England, eye upcoming fixtures

Entities: Felipe Contepomi · Les Kiss · Rassie Erasmus · Los Pumas

Overview

During the third round of the 2026 Nations Championship, England beat Argentina 31‑24 in Santiago del Estero, handing Los Pumas their sixth straight loss to the English side and their first defeat in the city. The match featured a record seven yellow cards and a controversial non‑award of a penalty try when wing Tomás Albornoz failed to ground the ball. Former player Mauricio Reggiardo criticised the team’s discipline.

Coach Felipe Contepomi’s squad now turns to a congested calendar. A home test against South Africa, coached by Rassie Erasmus, is set for 8 August at the José Amalfitani Stadium in Vélez. The Wallabies, under new head coach Les Kiss after Joe Schmidt’s departure, will visit Argentina on 29 August in Jujuy’s Estadio 23 de agosto and on 5 September in Mendoza’s Malvinas Argentinas venue. The 34‑player squad includes ten uncapped athletes, and the two matches form part of the Visa Galicia Cup, where the Pumas have historically recorded 4‑1‑35 against South Africa and 10‑3‑30 against Australia.

In November the Pumas will tour Europe, facing Ireland in Dublin, Italy in Genoa, France in Paris, and concluding with the Nations Championship finals in London.
