Jerónimo de la Fuente has been ruled out of facing Australia tomorrow. This has resulted in a late call-up for Santiago González Iglesias who will start at outside center.
The change means González Iglesias will play in the mid-field together with Matías Orlando. Slotting in on the bench will be Juan Martín Hernández who had been set to miss out on playing in Mendoza.
The 29-year-old González Iglesias will earn his 35th cap in the match. His test debut came in 2009 against Chile. Since Daniel Hourcade became Head Coach, González Iglesias has been a regular. Yet of his caps only 12 have been in the starting line-up. Twelve months ago injuries saw him playing fly half against the Wallabies.
