Los Pumitas Head Coach Nicolás Fernández Lobbe has named the Pumitas side for Monday’s World Rugby Junior World Championship Semi Final against Ireland in Manchester, England.
The Argentine under 20 side will have a strong change at qualifying for a first ever final and is looking to do so by outmuscling Ireland. Fernández Lobbe has named a heavy pack with second-rower Marcos Kremer again to play out of position on the flank.
The back line features plenty of attacking flair with the highly promising fullback Bautista Delguy (pictured) offering great counter attacking options. His winners Tomás Malanos and Julián Dominguez both provided Japan with problems in Los Pumitas’ previous fixture.
Kick-off for the match is scheduled for 1:30pm Argentine time on Monday.
