Los Teritos Head Coach Guillermo Storace has named his side for Saturday’s under 20 match against Zimbabwe. Uruguay’s under 20 side will be taking on the host nation of the 2016 World Rugby Junior World Trophy in Harare.
Uruguay are coming off a 38-34 defeat against Fiji on the opening day of the competition. In searching for their first win of the competition the South Americans are to face Zimbabwe who lost their opening fixture 54-24 against Samoa.
In the front row both Rodrigo Lamé and Yamandú Arburúas have been retained. A change, though sees Gonzalo Couto replaced by Guillermo Pujadas. They are to be supported in the second-row by an unchanged combination of Juan Diego Quintero and Lorenzo Surraco.
Captain Agustín Ortas will lead from the side of the scrum in an unchanged back-row combination that sees Matías Brignoni and Santiago Civetta also both retained.
In the backline there are two changes. At the back Lucas Durán comes in for Luis Zeballas while Martín Fitipaldo replaces the try-scoring Guillermo Williamson on the left wing.
The round two fixture will kick off at midday local time which corresponds to 7am in Uruguay.
