Ignacio Fernández Lobbe has named a full squad of 30 players in his Argentina XV squad to face Chile on Wednesday in a warm-up match for the Americas Rugby Championship. Each half will feature a unique XV as players vie for spots in the first choice side.
Two players named were not part of the original 37-man training squad. Second row Franco Molina and fullback Santiago Carreras join the squad after being released from the Jaguares extended group that will play Uruguay on Thursday.
Meanwhile loose forward Nicolás Sbrocco has been called up into the Jaguares roster for the match against Los Teros. Nicolás Walker deputises at No8 with Molina moving into the lock position that Walker has previously occupied.
Kickoff is set for 2:30pm local time (12:30pm ET) at La Boya. A live broadcast will be available on ESPN.
