Jaguares make nine changes for Crusaders
The Jaguares play the Crusaders in Christchurch on Friday – following defeats to the Hurricanes (22-40) and Blues (16-24).
The team shows nine changes – with the bulk of the players who joined the squad last week, after having been left home for the first part of the tour, making the staring XV.
Perez made five changes to the pack and four in the backline.
Agustin Creevy returns to the team at hooker instead of Julian Montoya, and also reclaims the captaincy.
Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro joins Creevy in the front row, where he replaces Ramiro Herrera.
Matias Alemanno comes into the side in place of Thomas Lavanini at lock, while Juan Manuel Leguizamón and Facundo Isa replace Pablo Matera and Leonardo Senatore in the back row.
In the backs there is a debut for scrumhalf Gonzalo Mendoza Bertranou and also the return of Juan Martin Hernández – who takes over from Nicolas Sanchez.
At centre Matías Moroni makes way for Jeronimo de la Fuente, while Joaquin Tuculet returns at fullback – Ramiro Moyano dropping out.
