The national franchise couldn’t against the Argentines and they lost at home. The 19-11 for the visit is the sixth consecutive defeat for those managed by Nicolás Bruzzone. The duel ended in incidents between the players of the two casts.
Selknam falls again. This time it was 19-11 against Dogos XV, at the municipal stadium of La Pintana, in the capital rain. The national franchise have one more defeat and are still mired in a poor run of results, a far cry from the positive start they got in Super Rugby Americas. The Chilean team accumulates six consecutive defeats and is out of the qualifying area for the next phase.
The first fraction ended with a 16-6 for the visit. At that time, Selknam was difficult. Something that changed in the second half. Those led by Nicolás Bruzzone were superior and looked to reduce the score.
It was a difficult task and only ten minutes from closing they were able to give it a try. With this game, the score was 16-11. In the next action, Videla missed the chance to keep getting closer. In this way, the match ended with a penalty for Dogos XV, leaving the score 19-11 at the end. After the clash, there was an argument between the players of the two teams. A provocation from a visitor did not go down well in Selknam and tempers flared. However, the judge of the match intervened so that he did not go any further.
In dialogue with the TV show, Santiago Videla, captain selknam , makes his analysis of the new stumbling block. “It’s a tough defeat. We have to improve a lot. We have worked and improved in some elements, but we are declining in others. We need to have a more equal level. We are focused, but we are fighting against ourselves,” he said.
