BY Jack Tunney  ·  Tuesday Sep 3, 2024

Harlequins have confirmed the exciting signing of Olympian Rodrigo Isgró ahead of the 2024/25 season.

The 25-year-old arrives at the west London side with plenty of international pedigree. Although the majority of his career has been spent in the shorter version of the game, sevens, Isgró made his fifteens international debut for Argentina against Australia last year, with coach Michael Cheika saying at the time:

“I expect him to fulfil his role. It is an opportunity for him and he has been growing back as a fifteens player. He was close to selection last week, and every day is an opportunity for him.”

Continuing to excel in sevens, the World Sevens Player of the Year most recently appeared at the Paris Olympics, returning to the Pumas side for their quarter-match against France after serving a ban for a dangerous tackle during a SVNS event in Madrid.

Upon completing his move to Harlequins, Isgro said: “I’m very excited for this opportunity with Harlequins. It was always my dream to play for a club like Quins and I’m really looking forward to meeting my new teammates. I hope I can help the team to achieve our goals and I can’t wait to put on the Quins shirt and play in that stadium with so much history.”

Head Coach Danny Wilson added: “We’re delighted to secure the services of Rodrigo. He’s a dynamic athlete, quick and skilful, who adds further international experience to our squad and provides great depth on the wing. He’s a mature player who we expect to hit the ground running and contribute to our objectives this season.”

A statement, appearing on the Harlequins website reads:

‘Renowned for his speed, Isgro has enjoyed success on the 7s circuit, winning bronze with Argentina at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, before being named the World Rugby 7s Player of the Year in 2023. Throughout his 7s career, Isgro has played 152 matches for Argentina, scoring 355 points (71 tries). At the Paris Olympics, Isgro featured against France in the Quarter-Final, scoring a try in the 14-26 defeat, before playing in the fifth-placed play-off against New Zealand.

‘At club level, Isgro played 15s for Mendoza before earning his Test debut for Argentina against Australia in the 2023 Rugby Championship. He was later selected in the Los Pumas squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France, scoring a try in Argentina’s 59-5 win over Chile.’
