Spanish rugby is advancing towards its return to the Olympic Games. On the afternoon of this Tuesday, the men’s team seven has passed the European pre-Olympic tournament and goes to a play-off which, at the beginning of next summer, will award the last ticket for Paris 2024. The Lions have finished third in this competition held in Poland, where they have only been surpassed by Great Britain to Ireland.
The Spanish team has achieved its basic objective -the maximum was the direct place- with a great performance in the match against Portugal for third place. The brilliant first part of him closed with an eloquent 0-28 in favor. Although the match had started with a lot of pace, Paco Hernández’s players took possession of the ball and, with recovered serves and long possessions, broke the Portuguese defense four times. The advantage has been extended even more in the resumption until reaching the final 0-42.
