Glasgow Warriors sign Argentinian flyer Sebastian Cancelliere
Glasgow Warriors have revealed the signing of Puma’s wing Sebastián Cancelliere, subject to visa.
Cancelliere will join ahead of the 2021/22 campaign, after putting pen to paper on a long-term deal with Danny Wilson’s squad.

The 27-year-old will arrive in Scotstoun this summer. Most recently with the Jaguares franchise in Super Rugby, Glasgow say that “Cancelliere’s electrifying combination of pace and footwork make him a constant thorn in the side of opposition defences.”
On signing with the Warriors, Cancelliere – who is currently playing in the Súper Liga Americana de Rugby with the Jaguares – said: “I’m really excited to join the Warriors.
“I’ve spoken with Enrique Pieretto and Gabriel Ascarate about the Warriors and all of them talked really highly of the club and its players.
“I enjoy playing fun dynamic rugby and getting the ball in space, and Glasgow’s play style will offer that to me.
“I’m looking forward to the experience.”
Head Coach, Danny Wilson, said: “Sebastian is a quality player with plenty of international and Super Rugby experience. He’s a quick evasive winger and his skill set will complement the style of rugby play at Glasgow. It’s great to be able to add another skilled attacking option to our back three for next season
“We look forward to welcoming him to Scotstoun in the summer.”

He will join new arrival Josh McKay and as well as Ollie Smith, Rufus McLean and Cole Forbes in competing for places in Glasgow’s back three. A product of the Hindu club in Buenos Aires, he made his debut in Super Rugby in the 2018 campaign, before marking his first start for the club with a try against Melbourne Rebels.
The winger then played a key role alongside fellow new Warrior Domingo Miotti in the Jaguares’ run to the 2019 Super Rugby Final, scoring five tries in 11 appearances for the Argentinian outfit.
Cancelliere’s form at club level saw him earn the attention of the international selectors, making his senior debut for Argentina in an autumn international clash with England at Twickenham in November 2017.
In total, he has earned 10 caps for Los Pumas to date, including scoring against Italy on his first start for his country. The flyer is also an accomplished 7s player, representing Argentina on the World Rugby 7s Series in 2015/16.

GOTTA MAKE ‘THE GEORGE’ HAPPEN!!!! That’s a great idea! A trans Tasman midget battle on ANZAC Day. I don’t think the ABs Wallabies game should be a one off winner takes all though, just the first match with the other two later in the year with the RC. Reason being, no one will ever shut up about how aussies couldn’t win it when it was a 3 match series.

1 Go to commentsGreat to have Ethan Blackadder back in the Crusaders in the last few weeks. One of the best all round loose forwards around. He played so well last week against the Rebels. Fantastic attitude Ethan has and his comments are spot on.
2 Go to commentsThe author is 100% right. The Springboks know that they don't have near the natural attraction, mana, skill and mystic the All Blacks have. So, Chasing the sun 1 & 2 was concocted to overblow the Boks image on the back of a corruptly obtained “win". It's marketing ploy to force the Boks delusion as the World's Best. I guess World Rugby is also not to be believed when it came out with an apology about how the final was officiated. And if the 2023 final such a superb game by the Boks, then the Boks crying about Referee Bryce Lawrence for decades is also deserves a laugh. Chase the sun and get burned like a moth. A very well written literary piece that tore the Boks and Chasing the sun farce to shreds. 🖤All Blacks🏉
152 Go to commentsI’d say France was far more hard done by in the 2011 final than the All Blacks in this game. Joubert simply refused to call a penalty against the All Blacks in the last quarter even directing an All Black to drop a ball he picked up in an offside position rather than penalizing him. This article also totally discounts the efforts of PSTD. Ask Jordie how well he played. Or the backup flank who played hooker for the entire game. Siya was also a brilliant tackle by Richie from scoring a blinder. Pollard was also fantastic. Look I don’t like the boks style but the only thing more questionable than the content of this article is the timing of it. Get over it already

152 Go to commentsOmg… you are bruised And battered Benny. Stop crying … the scoreboard speaks. What a pathetic lover you are.. 🤣🤣🤣

152 Go to commentsThis is the single worst piece of journalism I have ever seen since your last one. As a neutral, who really states that there should be an asterisk next to a win? You are an utter embarrassment to real AB fans, journalism and that joke of a house which pays you for this nonsense. Get a life, Ben.
152 Go to commentsGuys. Cancel the World Cup champions after this analysis. It changes everything. Ben knows. We’ll have to unengrave the Bokke off the trophy and hand it to the ABs, now that I’ve been enlightened about this illegitimate win. This needs to be done. Now!
152 Go to commentsBen is right here though, Springboks were woefully poor with the advantage they had throughout this game. The France match was heroic because that was an even contest this match had it taken place in Rugby Championship would have been an easy win for NZ. If anything this match should tell the Bok coaches that a lot of this team should be changed. They beat this same NZ team by record margin with the same circumstances but with a different core. They bring back the tried and tested guys and they nearly botch this game.
152 Go to commentsI knew who wrote this article from the first few words in the headline…lol. The red card actually did the ABs a favour. It galvanized them, only then did they step up a gear. Before that there was zero momentum.
152 Go to commentsFirstly the foul on Bongi was a planned move just like the NZ master plan with Bryce Lawrence you kiwis are filthy fux perhaps try to play a cleaner game next time I doubt that’s possible tho but don’t worry world rugby is on yr side they trying to take away all the BOKS strengths to help all you weakling as Jeremy Clarkson would say LA OO ZA ERR..🤣
152 Go to commentsAbsolutely spot on Ben. I certainly wouldn't gloat over a win like that. Frustrating as it is it's done and dusted and history will forever show the result.
152 Go to commentsHo hum.
152 Go to commentsNo question they were the better team. But that is the beauty of sport isn’t it!
