The club announced on Thursday the extension of its second or third international line. Guido Petti arrived at UBB in 2020 and signed up for two seasons with an optional additional year. He finally committed until 2025.
The Union, which managed to extend most of its executives, wanted to retain a player who quickly established himself as one of the team’s bosses. Even if his status as an Argentinian international poses a problem since between the Rugby Championship this summer and the tests in November this fall, he has, for example, only played four games since the start of the season. And even if, like any world-class player, it is expensive.
Back to back insurance
But the Argentinian is a kind of comprehensive insurance. First of all, because he is able to string together high-level performances. An astonishing regularity on the ground (23 matches last season, all as holder). We do not remember having seen him play an average match with UBB.

Then because he gives himself without counting. Beyond his qualities as a rugby player, Guido Petti is a warrior who does not calculate his efforts in the service of the collective. Last June, he broke his nose in front of Clermont, underwent surgery and played the weekend following the Top 14 semi-final against Toulouse.
Finally, because the Argentinian rubs off on his teammates. It motivates them, trains them, transcends them. ” It’s our ray of sunshine »Christophe Urios said of him last October. We understand why the UBB did not want to lose its guide.
