'Physical specimen' Rodrigo Isgro signs on for more at Harlequins
Argentina international Rodrigo Isgro has penned a contract extension at Harlequins after making a big impact since his arrival at the Twickenham Stoop in October.
The 25-year-old hit the ground running with two tries on debut against Bath before crossing again a week later against Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park.
Isgro played for Argentina at RWC 2023 and has seven caps for Los Pumas, while in sevens, he represented his country on 152 occasions and helped them to win bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, In 2023, he was named World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year.
“I am very happy to extend my contract at Harlequins. My time at the club has been great so far and I’m excited for the rest of this season and beyond,” said Isgro.
“The people are what makes this club so great. The players and staff have made me feel so comfortable and welcome since arriving.
“One of my dreams is to win the Premiership and why not the Champions Cup! I also want to continue to be selected by Los Pumas and represent my country, and I feel I am in the best place to do that here at Harlequins.”
Head Coach Danny Wilson added: “Rodrigo has made a great impact since joining us earlier this season. He’s a physical specimen who can cause defences real problems and he’s shown he knows his way to the try line.
“Rodrigo’s ability in the air is also fantastic which has added another dimension to our kicking game, whether that be from the restart or in-play.
“He’s a brilliant young man, who has a desire to learn and continually improve his all-round game, and we’re delighted he’s committed his future to the club.”

I’m glad he is improving so much. He was terrible for the Pumas. Too early a jump from sevens to XVs.
