Brazil won a crucial match against Argentina in the South America Championship with a score of 28-26. Winger Ivan Mancini scored a late try, helping Brazil stage a remarkable comeback. Argentina led 6-4 at halftime and extended their lead to 26-4 in the second half, but Brazil fought back to secure victory.

Now, Brazil’s championship hopes depend on the outcome of the final match between Argentina and Chile. If Chile wins, they will claim the South America Championship, having previously beaten Brazil 44-22 in their opening match on November 29. This result reversed Chile’s loss to Brazil from the previous year.

The tournament features Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. Argentina recently became a member of the International Rugby League, promoted by President Pablo Aguilera. The Argentina Rugby League is part of the Asia Pacific Rugby League Confederation, which supports the tournament organization.

Colombia is participating in Nines matches against local Argentine teams, which serve as preliminaries for the championship matches.
