Total equality between leonas and its rivals from the Six Nations. The classification will be resolved next Saturday.
The Spanish rugby team has not been able to get close to the next Women’s World Cup this Sunday. After beating Ireland (8-7) on the first day, the Lionesses lost in Parma to Scotland (22-27) in another match played until the last breath. The results certify the equality that prevails in this qualifying tournament. Each of the four participating teams has so far won one match and lost another.
Although Scotland seemed a priori the most accessible rival, the Spanish coach, Jos Antonio Barrio, had warned, Anvil, of her dangerousness because she was forced to win. Good impressions for the lioness They seemed to be confirmed in little more than a minute, when Amaya Erbina opened the scoring after scoring between suits at the exit of a mel in the first phase, without the British defense detecting her incursion.
The Caledonians, however, reacted immediately through their two wings, Rhona Lloyd and Megan Gaffney, authors of an essay each without a solution of continuity, in two actions that signaled the weakness in the tackling of the back lines of the Spanish fifteen.
Still in the first half hour, Spain reacted with two other brands, Margarita Rodriguez after a ‘maul’ impossible to stop and Garca Gala thanks to a beautiful interior discharge from Erbina. But Scotland pressed the score (19-17) at the edge of the break with a break through the center of their opening, Helen Nelson.
The second half was tighter, as both squads scored a penalty shot in the first ten minutes. The match fell to Scotland’s side in the 63rd minute, when Spain defended outnumbered by exclusion of Mnica Castelo, and Rachel McLachlan rehearsed aided by her forward drive.
The leonas They then launched into a last offensive that, phase after phase, placed them within a couple of meters of the test. It was extinguished without a prize and with it the hopes of having sentenced the classification. The results of the Italy-Spain and Ireland-Scotland games will dictate which team gets the ticket to New Zealand 2022 and which team will get a second chance in the play-offs. Two possibilities still within the reach of the Spanish team.
