Still no Sanchez for Los Pumas
TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: Argentina head coach Mario Ledesma has revealed his team to face the Wallabies in their Rugby Championship Round Five clash on Saturday.
Ledesma named an unchanged run-on side to the one that crashed to a second-string New Zealand last week, with Santiago Carreras retained at flyhalf with first-choice No.10 Nicolas Sanchez still out injured.
There are a few changes on the bench.
Rodrigo Martinez takes over the No.17 jersey from Carlos Muzzio, while Joaquin Oviedo also gets a place on the bench with Tomas Lezana dropping out of the matchday squad.
The other change to the bench sees Mateo Carreras come in for Matias Moroni.
