Two changes have been made to Los Pumas’ roster ahead of the upcoming Rugby Championship matches against the Springboks. Felipe Contepomi has made one injury-motivated change and one tactical change to his roster. Argentina face South Africa in Durban on September 27 and in London, England on October 04.
| ROSTER CHANGES |
Front-rower Ignacio Calles is out through injury. Calles, who is yet to play for his country in 2025, joined the roster for the two matches against Australia. He did not play and has now been replaced by the uncapped Leonel Oviedo.
Calles was a regular for Los Pumas in the second-half of Argentina’s international campaign in 2024. He was the understudy loose head prop to Thomas Gallo. Neither player has featured in the 2025 Rugby Championship. Calles’ place on the roster has gone to a specialist hooker. Calles previously played as replacement hooker for Argentina against Uruguay in 2024.
The second alteration to the roster sees Nicolás Roger dropping out and Felipe Contepomi welcoming back Tomás Albornoz. The Toulon-bound Albornoz was injured in Argentina’s win over New Zealand in Buenos Aires. He has now been cleared by doctors to return to the roster to travel to Durban.
