Pumas promote hero Amorosino

Number 15: Lucas Amorosino

Argentina head coach Santiago Phelan has announced his team to play their final Pool B match against Georgia in Palmerston North on Sunday.

There is a start for last week’s try-scoring hero Lucas Amorosino at full-back ahead of a benched Martín Rodríguez, while Leonardo Senatore is in for the injured Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe.

Gonazalo Camacho is out of the matchday 22 with his starting place taken by Juan Jose Imhoff and the final change sees Mariano Galarza replace Manuel Carizza in the lock department.

Argentina can still top Pool B if they manage to pick up maximum points in their game whilst hoping that Scotland deny England even a losing bonus-point in their showdown in Auckland.

Argentina: 15 Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, 14 Horacio Agulla, 13 Marcelo Bosch, 12 Felipe Contepomi (c), 11 Juan Jose Imhoff, 10 Santiago Fernández, 9 Nicolás Vergallo, 8 Leonardo Senatore, 7 Juan Manuel Leguizamón, 6 Julio Farias Cabello, 5 Patricio Albacete, 4 Mariano Galarza, 3 Juan Figallo, 2 Mario Ledesma Arocena, 1 Marcos Ayerza.
