Díaz Bonilla in, Rojas out for Argentina XV

A late change ahead of Saturday’s non-capped international against Uruguay has seen Hindú flyhalf called up in place of Javier Rojas for the Argentina XV. Díaz Bonilla has earned selection after guiding Hindú to Argentina’s national club title this past weekend, defeating Belgrano Athletic.

The Argentina XV will play away to Uruguay in Colonia del Sacramento for the Sudamérica Rugby Cup. It is the first of two matches, the second coming the following weekend away to Chile in Santiago.

On the line are potential places in Los Pumas roster for the home June Internationals or a place in the Argentina XV squad to play three matches in Romania as part of the World Rugby Nations Cup.
