Arias.La temporada servirá de preparación para la Copa del Mundo que se disputará en San Francisco, en julio de 2018, donde los Pumas están clasificados.
Gastón Revol fue uno de los destacados dentro del equipo. El capitán encabezó la defensa albiceleste, ya que fue el que más tackles realizó: 116 y también convirtió varios de los tries argentinos, sumando la mayor cantidad de puntos: 155.
Hay que destacar dos victorias de Los Pumas 7’s durante la serie
2016/2017: frente a Nueva Zelanda, en Wellington y en Las Vegas, y la obtenida ante Escocia, campeón de la
última etapa, por 22-14 en Hong Kong. Además, en Vancouver y ante Fidji, actual
campeón olímpico, se logró un triunfo de 26-24.
Según Gómez Cora ‘’en esta temporada
queremos terminar séptimos cómo mínimo, lo que implicaría romper la barrera de
cuartos de final que por juego, cansancio o nervios no pudimos romper la
temporada pasada. Ese es el gran objetivo de la serie’’.
’’El
comienzo es siempre interesante porque estamos todos queriendo mostrar algo
nuevo, distinto. Los equipos que tienen ventaja son los que llevan mucho tiempo
junto cómo Sudáfrica que tiene todos jugadores con promedio de 40 torneos, lo que
permite trabajar menos en armado del juego, ya que se conocen todos’’, dijo
Gómez Cora.

Gomez Cora said: "in this season we want to finish seventh as a minimum,
which would mean breaking the quarter-final barrier that due to play, fatigue
or nerves we could not break last season. That is the main objective of the
series ''.
'' The beginning is always interesting because we are all wanting to show something new, different. The teams that have the advantage are those who have been together for a long time, like South Africa, who has all players with an average of 40 tournaments, which allows them to work less on the game, as they all know each other", said Gómez Cora.
