Canada falls to Argentina ‘A’ 20-6 to open Americas Rugby Championship
LANGFORD, B.C. — Captain Gordon McRorie kicked two penalties but that was all the points Canada could muster, dropping its 2017 Americas Rugby Championship opener 20-6 to Argentina ‘A’ on Saturday.
Santiago Medrano and Segundo Tuclet had tries for Argentina ‘A’.
“They looked a little more organized than us,” Canada’s head coach Mark Anscombe said. “It was anyone’s game at half time but I thought we played a poor second half and they started playing a bit more and put us under pressure.”
The two sides were affected by the conditions at Westhills Stadium — a field covered with snow while rain fell — and it meant for a sloppy first half that was filled with turnovers. The two sides produced only a penalty apiece.
