The Pumas 7s beat Canada and will play the final for ninth place in Hong Kong

The Argentine Rugby Sevens team beat Canada this morning 21-0 and reached the repositioning final to finish ninth in Hong Kong.

At this stage, corresponding to the seventh series, there was no good move by the Argentine team.

Although they lost their first two matches to the United States (14-10) and New Zealand (22-0), the win over Great Britain in overtime (17-14) gave them a glimmer of hope to qualify for the quarter-finals. For gold as the best third party.

But there was no defeat for Fiji against France and the team led by Santiago Gomez Cora went straight to play in the semi-finals for ninth place.

Specifically, the attempts against the Canadiens were by Matteo Graziano, Alfonso Latorre and Luciano Gonzalez, converted by Tobias Wade (2) and Joaquin Bellandini.

It's now time to take on Samoa in the repositioning final, which takes place on Sunday at 00:40. The Islanders won the other semi-final match against Great Britain 12-7.

We remember that Los Pumas 7 suffered the loss of Marcos Moneta (fractured fibula) in this tournament and did not travel with Santiago Alvarez Forcade recovering from a sprain of the acromion (right shoulder).
