Marcelo Campo (1 July 1957 – 26 June 2021)[1] was an Argentine rugby union player.
The event is remembered until the present day, as it was the first time that an Argentina national rugby union team played against an English counterpart, in away field.
[2] Although not having test value, Campo played other important international matches, two against a New Zealand XV in 1979 and others against a World XV in 1980 and 1983, which saw important international players such as Jacques Fouroux, Jean-Pierre Rives, David Campese and Pierre Berbizier.
Meanwhile, in 1979, Campo moved to Pueyrredón, from Boulogne Sur Mer, in the Greater Buenos Aires due to the folding of Old Georgians in 1979.
Campo won a South American championship in 1987 and was called up in the 1987 Rugby World Cup, where he played only a match, which was the last one of his international career.
