Contepomi Makes Six Changes for Uruguay

Argentina XV Head Coach Felipe Contepomi has made six changes for Uruguay. Both teams are back from opening round matches in North America to square-off in round two in Bahía Blanca on Saturday.

Contepomi has made five changes to the pack. Francisco Ferronato, Marcelo Brandi, Santiago Medrano, Ignacio Larrague, and Mariano Romanini are to all start. They will do so in place of Franco Brarda, Gaspar Baldunciel, Cristian Bartoloni, Juan Cruz Guillemaín, and Francisco Gorrissen.

The one change in the backs sees u20 flyer Julián Domínguez starting on the wing. It also means Santiago Álvarez moves to center with Bruno Devoto missing out.
