Match Day 3- Los Tordos
The trip to Mendoza saw RGS challenged on many fronts. Mendoza is a hot bed of Argentinian Rugby famous for its tough forwards, scrummaging and its hospitality. The hosting was exceptional with a full barbecued chicken dinner on arrival at Los Tordos Rugby club. This was after an overnight Cama coach experience with the whole party enjoying the snoring of one or two individuals that shall remain nameless. The language barrier was soon overcome with a joint training game run by Mr Huelin. Match day three on Weds 25th July meant that the 2nd XV kicked off first in beautiful sunshine with the Andes providing a stunning backdrop. The 2nds lost 26-19 conceding a try in the dying seconds after pressing for the winning try at the opposite end of the pitch. Try Scorers Will Howells, Tim Wraight, Max Jankiewicz, conversions Oli Stonehouse (2). Tim Wraight scored an incredible solo effort and all the boys battled gamely against a well organised Mendoza side. special mentions for Alex Russel...
