Gonzalo on bench for Hamilton rematch

01/09/2022

Dragons RFC scrum half Gonzalo Bertranou is named among the replacements as head coach Michael Cheika makes four changes to the Los Pumas side for their second Test against the All Blacks in Hamilton on Saturday (kick-off 8.05am UK).

Tomas Cubelli is called up in the nine jersey while Santiago Carreras maintains his spot at fly-half after another strong performance in last week’s victory over New Zealand in Christchurch.

Santiago Cordero is promoted from the bench and starts on the left wing alongside Emiliano Boffelli and Juan Cruz Mallia in the back three.

In the forwards, Julian Montoya leads the team from hooker and is joined by Thomas Gallo and Joel Sclavi in an unchanged front-row.

Guido Petti comes in to start alongside Tomas Lavanini in the second-row as Matias Alemanno drops to the bench.

Santiago Grondona is preferred at flank to Juan Martin Gonzalez, and is joined by the experienced Pablo Matera and Marcos Kremer in the loose trio.

On the bench, Santiago Socino, Mayco Vivas and Eduardo Bello make up the front-row replacements for Cheika. The remaining forward options are Alemanno and Gonzalez.

Bertranou is joined by Benjamin Urdapilleta and Lucio Cinti as backline replacements for Argentina.
