| PREDICTION |
Both teams have had highs and lows this season. The high that Los Tarucas enjoyed in their prior match puts them where they need to be going in to their home match against the defending champions. The combative nature of their play against Selknam left Chileans injured. It was a display of the stereotype of Tucumán rugby: forward power in the scrum, defense, mauls and rucks. Excellent conditions are forecast for the match. Los Dogos are favorites to win in Tucumán.
