CUBA — Buenos Aires: 29:51, Top 12

Buenos Aires secured a comprehensive 44-29 victory over Cuba in the Top-12 on 26 September 2026. We had backed the hosts with 67 per cent confidence, but the match went the other way entirely. By then the home side looked exposed rather than dominant.

Cuba sit ninth with 45 points from 23 games, eight wins and fifteen defeats. Buenos Aires occupy twelfth on 36 points, seven wins and sixteen losses. The gap between them has widened further after this result.

The visitors have been finding ways to win lately. They beat Atletico del Rosario 37-34 on 29 August and lost narrowly to CASI 26-27 on 12 September. Cuba's recent form tells a different story. Their only win in the last five came against Los Materos 78-22, and they have not beaten a top side since.

And here's the thing — the home team got dragged out of position early and refused to recover. Buenos Aires played with more discipline, moving the ball into space where Cuba's defence had collapsed. The final score reflected a game that slipped away after the first quarter.

Cuba now face a difficult run without momentum. Buenos Aires remain at the bottom but have shown they can compete. The result extends the visitors' unbeaten run to two away games and leaves the hosts searching for answers.
