Chaos erupted during the Argentina vs. England rugby clash, leading to potential sanctions for the Pumas. The fiercely contested match saw a whopping seven yellow cards, but it was the disallowed try in the final moments that sent passions surging. Argentina’s Bautista Delguy thought he’d secured a draw with a dramatic score, only for the TMO to controversially chalk it off, igniting instant fury in the stadium.
As the final whistle blew, chaos ensued. Argentina’s fly-half Tomas Albornoz found himself in hot water, having made contact with referee Angus Gardner amid the protests. World Rugby rules are clear—no touching officials—and Albornoz might be staring down some serious disciplinary action.
The scene grew even more intense with videos capturing Gardner being harassed by the crowd as he left the pitch, narrowly missing being hit by an object thrown from the stands. The uproar reached the press room too, with Argentina’s manager Felipe Contepomi storming out amidst celebratory sounds from the English changing room.
The rugby world waits to see what sanctions Argentina might face, but one thing’s for sure—the Santiago del Estero showdown will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. What a day for rugby! 🏉🔥
