Morning!
Anthems already done…
Tonga now doing their haka, the Civitau!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by Los Pumas!
Lots of early endeavour… no score.
Tonga scrum for a forward pass by the Pumas, on about halfway.
Tongan knock in the backline… so we are staying here near halfway the whole time… possession changing to and fro.
Los Pumas penalty, smack bang in front, deeep in the Tongan 22…. they kick for the corner though!!
Try Los Pumas, Julian Montoya!
Dummy maul… ball out to the hooker on the sideline, easy try!
Los Pumas 7 / 0 Tonga
Skew throw into a lineout by Tonga, Los Pumas scrum.
The Los Pumas flyhalf’s surname sounds like an Italian type of cheese… or a Spanish type of dried ham meat… or something.
Or… in Afrikaans it sounds like… “Aartappel Sparletta”
Hahahaha
Pumas penalty, 9m out… they will pop it into the corner…
Another 5m Pumas penalty.
Try Julian Montoya again… mauled over!
Los Pumas 14 / 0 Tonga
Try Los Pumas, the left wing, Santiago Carreras!
Los Pumas 21 / 0 Tonga
We have now seen 3 different tries by Los Pumas…
First was clever deceit at the lineout
Second the traditional lineout maul try by the hooker
Third a huge run by the left wing
Thows the versatility that Los Pumas has, they can really turn things on, on a good day, with a complete game of rugby!
Try Benjamin Urdapilleta, Los Pumas!
TMO
No clear grounding… 5m Pumas scrum
Hat trick try for Julian Montoya, Los Pumas!
Los Pumas 28 / 0 Tonga
Scoring faster than the clock….

Los Pumas 28 / 7 Tonga
Boffelli passes out to touch…
Tonga penalty, inside their own 22.
Los Pumas scrum, just outside the Tonga 22.
Knock by Matias Orlando… Tonga scrum, just outside the 22.
The Tongan tighthead prop apparently weighs 155kg…. phweeeew!
That is the weight of 3 beautiful young ladies combined!!
He looks a little slow and lazy though and should quickly tire…
Almost a Tonga try in the left corner…
TMO
No try…
