Gonzalo Bertranou
5' 10'' | 182 lbs | Argentina
Argentinian Test scrumhalf Gonzalo Bertranou has signed with RFCLA, in a major coup for the team ahead of season 2025.
Bertranou has signed for two seasons, set to use the LA franchise as a springboard for a 2027 Rugby World Cup push.
The 30-year-old debuted for the Pumas in 2015 and has earned 68 Test caps, including featuring in historic away victories over the All Blacks, Springboks, and Wallabies as the starting halfback in 2024.
He joins RFCLA from Cardiff, after signing a loan deal to move to the Welsh capital from rivals Dragons RFC.
Bertranou started his professional career with the Argentina XV in 2013. In 2016, he joined the first ever Argentinian team to play Super rugby.
When Covid hit in 2020, the Jaguares’ Super Rugby involvement ended, and Bertranou moved over to the Dragons RFC.
He is far from alone as a South American in the MLR, joining a fleet or Argentinian Internationals in the MLR.
