Emotions as Contepomi runs-out for final test match

The most capped Puma of all time, Felipe Contepomi played his final test match in the 2013 Rugby Championship as Argentina played host to Australia at the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito in Rosario. Earning his 87th cap Contepomi led the players out onto the field to a loud applause.

Among those in attendance was his father who, like Felipe Contepomi is a qualified physician. Rugby World Cup 2015 will be the first since 1995 to not feature the former Bristol, Leinster, Toulon and Stade Français wizard.
