Italy's U18s defeated the Argentina U18s 29-19 Saturday in Rio Cuarto to finish 3-0 and win the inaugural Cuatro Naciones of rugby.

 

This was a little bit of a shock, as Argentina had produced slightly more impressive results in the first two games, against Uruguay and the USA, respectively. However, the Italian's countered Argentina's skillful kicking game and hard-nosed scrummaging well.

 

Meanwhile, the USA, the High School All Americans, secured 3rd with a 27-17 defeat of Uruguay.
