Felipe Contepomi has selected a roster of 34 players for a camp ahead of the November Internationals. The staff and players will have a three day camp from October 27-29. It will be the final chance for players to improve their chances of selection for Argentina in November.
The roster features alterations to that from the Rugby Championship. Joel Sclavi, Gonzalo García and Tomás Albornoz all missed the final round match against South Africa. The trio are all missing from the camp due to the same injuries. This does not mean they will miss November; rather, it suggests that their involvement will begin after the opening match of the tour.
Contepomi has recalled over a half dozen players. They are loose head prop Thomás Gallo, tight head prop Pedro Delgado, second-rowers Matías Alemanno and Efraín Elías, flanker Benjamín Grondona, scrum-half Gonzalo Bertranou, and fly half Nicolás Roger.
Alemanno and Elías are included for the first time in 2025. The former has 98 test caps and the latter was not considered for July or the Rugby Championship due to injury. The others have all featured for Los Pumas at some point this year.
The roster notably comes without veteran center Matías Moroni, and props Ignacio Calles and Eduardo Bello. Moroni was not selected while both props are not yet at 100% fitness. In addition, fly half Domingo Miotti, second-rowers Tomás Lavanini and Lucas Paulos, N8 Facundo Isa and hooker Bautista Bernasconi have all missed out on selection.

Los Pumas will face Wales, Scotland and England in November. The all-UK tour will conclude Argentina’s international matches for the year. The tour comes just before the draw for Rugby World Cup 2027. Argentina needs wins to hold on to its position in the world’s top 6. The current ranking means a favorable position for the draw.
