Argentina Make Changes for Oceania Tour

Argentina has made changes for the upcoming Oceania Tour. Los Pumas will play against New Zealand in New Plymouth and Australia in Canberra in September.

Head Coach Daniel Hourcade has called-up Rodrigo Báez, Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro and Manuel Montero. The trio enter what is now a 29-man roster. Missing is Tomás Lavanini who will not tour despite having been cleared of suspension yesterday. No 8 Benjamín Macome remains in the squad as a second-row option.

Included in the original roster but yet to make the match squad are scrum half Gonzalo Bertranou and inside center Bautista Ezcurra. Both now await the opportunity of playing in the home internationals in Buenos Aires and Mendoza.
