Uruguay name strong team for Argentina

Uruguayan Head Coach Pablo Lemoine has named a strong lineup for Saturday’s home international against Argentina at the Estadio Charrúa in Montevideo. The match is to be Uruguay’s last at home before the Rugby World Cup. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:30pm local time.

European based professionals Mario Sagario, Agustín Ormaechea and Felipe Berchsei are among the starters. The team is not the strongest possible due to some regulars either being on the bench or out of the team. For Lemoine it is the last fixture being naming his World Cup squad.

Argentina is yet to arrive in Montevideo and is to confirm the match day line-up tomorrow.
