Argentina Rugby Championship Squad 2022

Michael Cheika has made four changes to his Argentina team for their second Rugby Championship match against Australia in San Juan on Saturday.

The Pumas are looking to bounce back from a 41-26 defeat by the Wallabies in their opening match and Thomas Gallo comes into the front row at loosehead.

The other changes are in the back-line. Gonzalo Bertranou starts at scrum-half with Tomas Cubelli dropping to the bench, Matias Moroni comes into the centres and Juan Imhoff is selected on the left wing, with Emiliano Boffelli switching to the right.
