The Western Force have signed Agustín Moyano from Argentina. The 22-year-old joins the Western Australian Super Rugby franchise from Los Dogos in Super Rugby Americas. The move will see Moyano having his first professional rugby experience outside of Argentina.
| LOS PUMAS – AGUSTÍN MOYANO |
Moyano is a Pumas rookie in 2025. Head Coach Felipe Contepomi named him on his roster to face the British & Irish Lions in June. He was one of three scrum-halves and one of two uncapped scrum halves. His test debut came in July against England in San Juan.
Following his debut, Moyano earned his second cap a week later. It was against Uruguay in Salta and El Cordobés celebrated with a try. He was named on the roster for the Rugby Championship and earned three caps, including playing against Australia in Townsville and Sydney.
Moyano is on the Argentine roster presently touring the UK. Los Pumas face Wales in Cardiff, Scotland in Edinburgh and England in London as part of the 2025 November Internationals.
| CAREER – AGUSTÍN MOYANO |
Moyano made his test debut for Argentina against England in July, 2025. He was a replacement for fellow Pumas rookie scrum-half Simón Benítez Cruz. Moyano and Benítez Cruz were rivals in Super Rugby Americas 2025 with Moyano playing for Los Dogos and Benítez Cruz for Los Tarucas.
The two scrum-halves officially overtook veteran Gonzalo Bertranou in 2025. This came together with Gonzalo García holding down the starting spot in the Rugby Championship. It was more than a changing of the guard; it was confirmation that Argentina’s system is producing talent who are successfully making the jump from the South American professional league to the top.
Moyano is a native of Córdoba and a product of Córdoba Athletic. The 22-year-old was identified young by the Córdoba based High Performance program which saw him playing for Argentina at the 2023 World Rugby u20 Championship and joining Los Dogos and becoming a regular for the team which saw him earning his call-up to Los Pumas.
Moyano is one of two contemporary Pumas joining the Western Force. The Perth team signed Franco Molina on a two-year contract for Super Rugby Pacific 2026-2027. The two players have been common members of Felipe Contepomi’s rosters in 2025. Molina debuted for Argentina in 2024 and Moyano in 2025.
Four other Pumas hare former Western Force players. Scrum-half Tomás Cubelli also played for the Western Force in 2020-2021. He made 13 appearances for the Western Force. He previously played for the Brumbies, making 18 appearances. Moyano thus follows in the footsteps of Cubelli to be the second Pumas scrum-half at the Western Force.
Tight head prop Santiago Medrano played for the Western Force from 2020-2024. He made 50 appearances for the club. He now plays for Vannes in France. The team was relegated to the Pro D2 for the 2025-2026 season.
Flanker Tomás Lezana played for the Western Force in 2020-2021 before moving to Wales to play for the Scarlets and from there to France. At the Western Force, Lezana made 5 appearances.
Domingo Miotti joined the Western Force in 2021. He made 10 appearances for the club with the fly half leaving his mark. He scored the match-winner in the win over the Waratahs and also against the, now defunct, Melbourne Rebels. He moved to Scotland to join the Glasgow Warriors before moving to France to play for Oyonnax and now for Montpellier.
