New Era,Sweeps Changes,Argentina

Big-name absentees are ageing Test centurions hooker Agustin Creevy and fly-half Nicolas Sanchez as well as utility back Juan Cruz Mallia.

NEW ARGENTINA coach Felipe Contepomi has named a much-changed squad for next month’s Tests with France and Uruguay, leaving out 15 players from last year’s Rugby World Cup.

Toulouse’s Mallia, Bordeaux-Begles lock Guido Petti and La Rochelle prop Joel Sclavi are missing due to their end-of-season commitment with their French clubs. Advertisement Contepomi has selected four uncapped players. Brive prop Francisco Coria Marchetti, Vannes back-rower Bautista Pedemonte, lock Franco Molina and full-back Mateo Soler from the Dogos XV domestic side have yet to feature for the Test side.“This year is the starting point of a new World Cup cycle with the main objective of the Australia 2027 World Cup,” Contepomi said in an Argentine Rugby Union statement on Wednesday.
