On Sunday, November 5th the second semifinal of the URBA Top 12 Copa Star+ will be held between Hindú and SIC. The match will be at 16:30 and will be available on Star+. In the last training session of the week, the protagonists of Hindú and SIC discussed the match in an interview with Scrum.
Agustín Capurro, Hindú's hooker, expressed: "We are very happy. We try to improve discipline, defense, and refine details. The overall assessment of the year is positive, we had good and bad things, but for us, improving the game is essential and the result is a consequence of that".
Another player who spoke was Lautaro Bávaro. He commented: "We had several training sessions and had time to prepare well, and we were able to do it in a good way. We have played against SIC a million times in these stages and in the tournament. It is always a tough match and this will be no exception", said the Hindú forward.
Joaquín de la Vega Mendía said that "it's just another week, or at least that's how we try to approach it", when talking about the mental aspect and the anxiety for the semifinals.
On the other hand, Andrea Panzarini, forward for SIC, mentioned: "You always enjoy a semifinal week to the fullest. We will stay focused on our game, when we achieve that, we will likely be superior".
Joaquín Lamas, after the training session, spoke as well. He commented: "The club is in a good state, we are excited and happy. It's a similar group that has reached the semifinals for the fourth time in a row, we are happy. It's a challenge and a tremendous opportunity to bring SIC to the highest level possible. We know Hindú well, these matches are usually close. They won the final against us last year, and we drew in the semifinals two years ago. The one who is more focused will win it".
Finally, Francisco González Capdevilla said: "We are very confident, very excited. We had a strange start, but we worked on defense and being more careful".
