Argentina get backline injection
SQUAD ANNOUNCEMENT: Argentina have added some extra backline pace ahead of the Rugby Championship match against Springboks on Saturday.
Los Pumas will look for revenge in the return match in Mendoza – Round Two of the Rugby Championship – after they lost 21-34 in the season opener in Durban this past weekend.
The side will be boosted by the return of fit-again Jaguares centre Jeronimo de la Fuente.
While, Los Pumas Sevens international Santiago Alvarez Fourcade and former Under 20 international Santiago Carreras were included in the squad for the first time.
Hooker Facundo Bosch, who plies his trade at Agen in France, is also set for a debut.
