Jewish-backed Argentine rugby club takes national title
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Argentinian rugby team with a Jewish history and Jewish fans wins the national league championship.
The Buenos Aires-based Hindu Club team won the Argentinian national title after beating Club Newman, in a vibrant 27 to 25 final.
This title means that Hindu is the best team in the country, winning the 20th edition of the National Tournament, organized by the Argentinian Rugby Union, or UAR. In November 2014, Hindu won the Buenos Aires Rugby League title.
Identified as the Jewish rugby team among the national clubs, Hindu fans display Israeli flags during some matches, such as during the Buenos Aires final in November.
