Buenos Aires claimed a comfortable 32-16 win over Regatas Bella Vista in the Argentina Top-12 on Friday evening. The away side controlled proceedings from the opening exchanges and saw out the contest without serious challenge.
Regatas had shown flashes of attacking intent in recent weeks, including a 50-17 demolition of Atletico del Rosario in mid-July. But this performance told a different story, with the home side unable to match their visitors' composure.
Buenos Aires came into this fixture having lost their last two matches, including a narrow 32-29 defeat to La Plata last weekend. Their previous victory came against Champagne, 31-16, on 18 July. They ended this run of poor form with a convincing display.
Regatas' recent results had been mixed, with three losses in their last four outings. Their only win in that period came against Atletico del Rosario. The heavier scoring games in their history—61-7 and 50-17—suggest they can produce big numbers when things click.
This result leaves both sides searching for consistency in the latter stages of the campaign. Buenos Aires will be pleased to finally put together a positive run, while Regatas must address the defensive frailties on show.
