The Aviva Premiership returns this week. It does so despite the November Internationals yet to have come to a close for the year. The competition will have matches clashing with Saturday’s packed list of test matches.
Opening up round 9 will be the Newcastle Falcons at home to Gloucester. The Falcons have named an all-Argentine mid-field. Regular starting inside center Juan Pablo Socino is to be partnered by Belisario Agulla, usually a winger.
On Saturday Juan Pablo Estelles will start for Northampton. The 2016 Puma has earned his way into the starting line-up of the senior side after impressive form for the Wanderers. He will play on the right wing in an away encounter against the Sale Sharks.
On the bench for the Leicester Tigers on Saturday will be Chris Baumann. The prop from Colorado will do so while on the other side of Europe his Eagles colleagues are taking-on Georgia in Tbilisi earlier on in the day.
Round 9 will conclude on Sunday. London Irish host the Wasps in one match while Saracens take-on the Exeter Chiefs in the other. Line-ups for these matches are yet to be revealed. Marcelo Bosch, Juan Figallo and Chris Wyles are all expected to play.
