Argentina announce squad for training camp

Argentina

Michael Cheika has named a 29-man squad for a three-day training camp at Premiership Rugby side Sale Sharks ahead of the upcoming Autumn Nations Series. 

Leicester Tigers hooker Julian Montoya continues as captain after leading the side to an historic victory over New Zealand in the summer.

He is joined by nine other Gallagher Premiership stars including Newcastle Falcons trio Matias Moroni, Matias Orlando and Santiago Carreras as well as London Irish trio Lucio Cinti, Juan Martin Gonzalez and Argentina’s most capped player in their history Agustin Creevy.

There are 12 players included from the Top 14 and a further five from the United Rugby Championship.

Bayonne winger Martin Bogado is included in a Pumas squad for the first time after making his Top 14 debut last weekend in the win over Perpignan.

Former Wasps prop Rodrigo Martinez is also included in the squad while he continues to search for a club following their administration.

The 29-man squad are training at Sale’s facilities in Manchester on Tuesday and Wednesday with their coaching team of Cheika, who is also head coach of the Lebanon side at the Rugby League World Cup, and Pumas legends Felipe Contemponi and Juan Fernandez Lobbe.
