Argentina have added three players to the team roster for the Salta test match. Los Pumas will play host to South Africa in the Northern Argentine city this coming Saturday. The second round match sees the South Americans looking to rebound from a disappointing opening performance.
Gone from the roster is Leonardo Senatore. The No 8 was injured in the 13th minute of the Port Elizabeth test match. His injury sees two specialist No 8’s added. Having missed the trip across the South Atlantic Ocean both Juan Manuel Leguizamón and Benjamín Macome have been added to the roster.
Also added for Salta is Santiago González Iglesias. The inside back kicked the winning points in the corresponding fixture twelve months ago.
An additional change is possible. Prop Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro is currently being examined in Buenos Aires. He left the field with a concussion in Port Elizabeth. So far no player has been called in as cover. The roster is to travel to Salta on Tuesday.
