Played at La Catedral in Buenos Aires, Los Pampas scored a bonus point victory without conceding a try.<\/p>\n<p>The match was locked at 0-0 for a long time. The opening points game on 28 minutes when fullback, Tob\u00edas Wade scored his first of two tries in the match. The try saw Wade bumping off Pe\u00f1arol fly half, Justo Ferrario. Bautista Faris\u00e9 converted and landed a penalty late in the half.<\/p>\n<p>Pe\u00f1arol responded to Faris\u00e9\u2019s penalty with one of their own; Justo Ferrario kicked a three-pointer for Pe\u00f1arol\u2019s only score of the night. With it, the scoresheet was 10-3 at halftime in favor of the hosts.<\/p>\n<p>Los Pampas started the second-half strongly. From a maul, hooker Ignacio Bottazzini powered over to score in the first-minute after the interval. Replacement Lucas Moresco also used his strength to score the next try; his score gave the Buenos Aires team a three score lead.<\/p>\n<p>With the match nearing its conclusion, Los Pampas added to further tries to complete a memorable bonus point triumph. A sharp pass to the left put replacement winger Jer\u00f3nimo Ulloa over while Tob\u00edas Wade scored with time up in what was the best try of the night.<\/p>\n<p>The 34-3 win means Los Pampas are well placed in the SRA standings. The team is on track for a home Semi Final. Meanwhile, Pe\u00f1arol are outside of the play-off\u2019s zone; the Montevideo-based side must improve or the team will be unable to defend their title.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-93317 tie-appear\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/logo-super-rugby-americas-thumbnail-2022.png\"   alt=\"\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\"\/>SCORING<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-93319 size-full tie-appear\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/logo-pampas-SRA-thumbnail-2022.png\"   alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\"\/><br \/>PAMPAS (34)<br \/>TRY \u2013 T Wade 2 (28\u2032, 80\u2032);
