Having recovered from a muscular injury Leandro Leivas has been declared fit and will start in place of Santiago Gibernau on the right wing. Jerónimo Etcheverry, though, is not yet ready to play.
The remaining places are unchanged with Mario Sagario, Santiago Vilaseca, Juan Gaminara, Matías Beer, Agustín Ormaechea, Felipe Berchesi, Gastón Mieres, Rodrigo Silva, Andrés Vilaseca and Joaquín Prada all starting.
