Pumas Replica Rugby Ball by Gilbert

Official Gilbert Pumas Replica Rugby Ball

Los Pumas represent Argentina's national men's rugby team. While their initial international involvement dates back to 1910, a pivotal moment reshaped their history during the remarkable 1965 tour of South Africa. On June 19, 1965, at Johannesburg's iconic Ellis Park stadium, the Argentine team achieved a significant victory by defeating the Junior Springboks 11-6. Amid this memorable African expedition, a local journalist mistakenly referred to the jaguar on the Argentine Rugby Union shield as a puma in an article, leading to the adoption of the moniker "LOS PUMAS" for the Argentine national team across the globe. Show your support of Los Pumas with this replica rugby ball!
