Mensa and Fernández Criado called up to Jaguares

Los Ceibos will be without two of their top players in training this week, and may need new recruits if things go well for Lucas Mensa and Rodrigo Fernández Criado. The duo have been called up by Los Jaguares for their second preseason match against the Georgia XV on Friday in San Isidro.

Mensa was a surprise omission from the squad initially having played for Los Pumas in the World Cup. He steps in with the Jaguares suffering from several midfield injuries including captain Jerónimo de la Fuente.

Fernández Criado adds versatility being able to cover both lock and loose forward. The Jaguares had just three specialist locks available this past weekend with Marcos Kremer starting on the blindside flank.
