Newman defeated Belgrano and won two out of two, but they do not let their guard down: 'Being champions wouldn’t win us anything'

Newman secured their second consecutive win in the Buenos Aires Rugby Championship by defeating Belgrano, but remains cautious about their performance despite their status as reigning champions.

Newman triumphed over Belgrano with a score of 33-25 in their second match of the Buenos Aires Rugby Championship, showcasing a composed performance rather than a flashy display of skill. The team's hooker, Beltrán Salese, stated that being champions does not automatically confer superiority or privileges, emphasizing a mindset focused on continuous improvement rather than complacency.

The victory reflects Newman’s understanding that their status as reigning champions does not grant them an advantage over their opponents. Instead, they approach each match with a sense of humility and recognition of the challenges that lie ahead. The team demonstrated resilience and strategic play, overcoming a complex match scenario to secure their win, proving essential in moving forward in the competition.

With each game, Newman aims to channel their champion mentality positively and maintain their competitive edge. As they prepare for future matches, particularly their upcoming classic rivalry, they are keenly aware of the need to remain grounded, focusing on the hard work and dedication required to retain their title, understanding that past achievements do not ensure future success.
