Argentina XV squad for Chile match

The Argentina XV have named their squad of 26 players to travel to Talcahuano to play Chile on Saturday. Four players who did not partake in the blowout win over Uruguay this past weekend have been added.

Loosehead prop Franco Brarda is recalled having started against Canada in Langford, as is flanker Francisco Gorrissen. Flyhalf Juan Cruz González is set to make his ARC return after recovering from injury, and Olympian winger Germán Schulz is drafted in from the Pumas 7s side.

Back row Tomás de la Vega is rested after taking a head knock against Los Teros, while tighthead prop Santiago Medrano will sit out the match against Los Cóndores. Alejo Brem looks likely to start on the right side of the scrum with Eduardo Bello providing cover. Outside backs Julián Domínguez and Segundo Tuculet are also absent to make room for Gonzalez and Schulz.
