Jaguares Super Rugby player, Marcos Kremer will play in a second Junior World Championship. The 19-year-old second-rower has today been added to the Argentina u20’s roster to play in Tbilisi, Georgia.
Kremer will play under the coaching staff of Gastón Conde, Agustín Ezcurra and Maximiliano Bustos. Included are experienced players including Franco Molina, Bautista Delguy, Vicente Boronat, Tomás Malanos, Teo Castiglioni, Bautista Stavile, Nahuel Milan and Santiago Pulella.
The inclusion of Kremer is a signal of the improved resources available to Daniel Hourcade. Matías Alemanno and Tomás Lavanini are both fit again. They join Guido Petti as the leading options to start against England next month. Ignacio Larrague is next in line and, like them, is involved with Los Jaguares.
[EDIT: The UAR has now confirmed that Kremer will be joined by Juan Ignacio Molina in the team, replacing injured Vicente Boronat (broken hand) and Facundo Domínguez (knee) who have now been ruled out of the u20 Championship. See amended roster below.]
