Orlando To Miss Melbourne Rebels Clash

A late change has been forced upon Los Jaguares. Matías Orlando suffered an injury on the eve of the final round Super Rugby match against the Rebels in Melbourne.

The first choice Jaguares 13 will not be able to recover from a knock in today’s captain’s run. His place in the team goes to Matías Moroni who had been set to play right wing. Moroni’s spot goes to Santiago Cordero who is elevated from the bench. Joaquín Díaz Bonilla replaces Cordero on the bench.

Naturally an outside center, Moroni has been used throughout 2017 on the wing. He also played in the position in the June internationals for Argentina.

The late change sees no specialist outside back among the replacements. Former fullback Juan Martín Hernández can require emergency cover if required. Both he and Díaz Bonilla are inside backs. Should a winger require replacing then Bautista Ezcurra can make the move out wide.

LOS JAGUARES REVISED
15 Joaquín Tuculet, 14 Santiago Cordero, 13 Matías Moroni, 12 Bautista Ezcurra, 11 Emiliano Boffelli, 10 Nicolás Sánchez, 9 Martín Landajo, 8 Leonardo Senatore, 7 Rodrigo Báez, 6 Pablo Matera, 5 Benjamin Macome, 4 Guido Petti, 3 Enrique Pieretto, 2 Agustin Creevy (Capt.), 1 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro

Replacements: 16 Julián Montoya, 17 Ramiro Herrera, 18 Lucas Noguera, 19 Ignacio Larrague, 20 Juan Cruz Guillemáin, 21 Gonzalo Bertranou, 22 Juan Martín Hernández, 23 Joaquín Díaz Bonilla
