Pe\u00f1arol downed Selknam on Saturday, claiming a 40-27 home victory in Montevideo. The win was Pe\u00f1arol\u2019s first of the Super Rugby Americas (SRA) 2026 season. It came after comprehensive defeats in the opening two rounds of the season; however, it also came against Selknam, a team missing 22 players to international duty this weekend in Italy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1arol\u2019s pathway to victory over Selknam came tries from forwards in the first half and from back s in the second. Pe\u00f1arol hooker, Joaqu\u00edn Myszka scored a first-half double from lineout to maul tries. Selknam\u2019s first-half try was also scored in this way with debutant Alan Pedrol scoring.<\/p>\n

The match opened up in the second-half. Pe\u00f1arol ran in four tries and Selknam scored three. It meant both teams scored a bonus point for scoring four tries while Pe\u00f1arol came away with the maximum of five competition points.<\/p>\n

Alfonso Perillo and Santiago Wood exchanged tries for the two teams early in the half. Both tries were pieces of good luck. Replacement back Tom\u00e1s Baca Castex scored Pe\u00f1arol\u2019s bonus point try on 54 minutes before Sebastian P\u00e9rez added another for Pe\u00f1arol six minutes later.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1arol\u2019s final score was a beautiful try with the best back on the field, Justo Ferrario, splitting the defense and scoring on 67 minutes. From there, Selknam regathered to score twice in the final ten minutes. Lucas Berti scored one and then set up another as Tom\u00e1s Baguley completed a successful return from a serious injury suffered in SRA 2025.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1arol remain at home for their Week 4 fixture which will be against Os Cobras. Selknam play again on the road, this time against Los Dogos in C\u00f3rdoba, Argentina.<\/p>\n
