Hourcade makes Three Changes for Georgia

In search for a first win at the World Cup Head Coach Daniel Hourcade has made three changes to face Georgia in Gloucester on Friday. All three of the alternations come in the forwards with Matías Alemanno, Facundo Isa and Juan Manuel Leguizamón replacing Guido Petti, Leonardo Senatore and Pablo Matera.

Of the changes two are injury-motivated with both Petti and Senatore having been forced off against the All Blacks. Matera, meanwhile, has been replaced by the veteran Leguizamón in a strategic move. Mariano Galarza was set to start in place of Petti but with the outcome of his citing yet to be determined Hourcade has gone for two back-rowers on the bench.

Joining Matera will be Javier Ortega Desio which will give Hourcade plenty of mobility with the latter of the two required to cover the second-row is needed. The remaining replacements are the same as those that played on Sunday.
