Fernández Lobbe Changes Four Pumitas for South Africa

Nicolás Fernández Lobbe has made four changes to his lineup for Saturday’s round two fixture of the World Rugby Junior World Championship. Argentina will take-on South Africa in one of six world under 20 fixtures this weekend.

Having beaten France in the opening round the South Americans are looking to march on by upsetting the Baby Boks. The pool also contains Japan, whom gave South Africa a torrid opening half, holding a half time lead.

The four changes include a new captain with mid-fielder Juan Cruz Mallía taking over the reigns from the injured Benito Paolucci. In terms of positions there have been three changes to the forwards and one in the backline.

Upfront Rúben Ricco has been given a start, replacing Juan Pablo Enriquez at loosehead prop. In the second-row Franco Molina will join Ignacio Calas which sees Marcos Kremer moving to the flank. Also starting in the back-row will be Conrado Rousa who replaces Mariano Romanini.

The only change to the backline sees Santiago Mare coming in for Teo Castiglioni.
