Uruguay Name side with Six Changes for Chile

Uruguay Head Coach Esteban Meneses has made six changes to his starting lineup for Saturday’s home international against Chile.

Mateo Sanguinetti is recalled at loosehead prop, taking the place of Ignacio Secco. He will join Germán Kessler and Carlos Arboleya who both started against Paraguay past Saturday.

In the second-row the converted back-row veteran Diego Magno is back from a week’s rest, coming in for Ignacio Dotti. Finally Joaquín Dell’Acqua makes way for Old Boys back-rower Juan Manuel Gaminara in the remaining change to the pack.

Also back from club duty with Old Boys in Argentina’s domestic club championship is Andrés Vilaseca. He comes in for Facundo Klappenbach to start at inside center while at the back World Cup winger Rodrigo Silva replaces Federico Favaro.

On the line for both teams is the South American A Championship title and also a win in the opening fixture of the 2016 Sudamérica Rugby Cup. Both Chile and Uruguay will face the Argentina XV in subsequent weeks in remaining Sudamérica Rugby Cup matches.
