Rugby team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dogos XV is a professional rugby union team based in Cordoba, Argentina. The team was founded in 2019 as Ceibos to compete in Súper Liga Americana de Rugby[1] and was Argentina's second professional franchise.[2] The team was disbanded ahead of the 2021 season, following Argentina Rugby's decision to play the Jaguares XV in the competition, following the team's departure from Super Rugby.[3][4]
