In their match at the Seven tournament in Perth, the Argentine Pumas 7s rugby team initially looked poised for victory when they took a lead of 24-7 against Spain. However, their celebration was short-lived as a review by the Television Match Official (TMO) ruled out a try by Gregorio Pérez Pardo due to a knock-on. This critical call shifted the momentum of the match as Spain capitalized on the opportunity, quickly reducing the deficit.

As the game progressed, the Pumas 7s' earlier confidence dissipated, and they fell prey to a series of mistakes, allowing Spain to regain control. The Argentine team's defense faltered, which enabled Spain to make a remarkable comeback, ultimately turning the game in their favor. The collapse of the Pumas 7s from a strong position raises concerns about their consistency and mental resilience under pressure as they attempt to recover in their final match of the day.

With three consecutive losses on the first day of the tournament, the Argentine side enters Sunday’s matchup against France with the goal of salvaging a fifth-place finish. This disappointing performance reflects broader challenges the team faces as they seek to establish themselves in the competitive landscape of international sevens rugby.
