The Australian coach Michael Cheika will confirm this Thursday the Los Pumas team that will face the current world champion, South Africa, next Saturday for the sixth and last date of the Rugby Championship tournament. The match will be played at 12:05 in the city of Durban and will be a rematch of the match played the previous Saturday, in which the Sprinbocks defeated Los Pumas by 36-20, at Independiente’s court, in Avellaneda.
The initial formation of Los Pumas would be with Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro, Julián Montoya (captain) and Eduardo Bello; Matías Alemanno and Tomás Lavanini: Juan Martín González, Marcos Kremer, Pablo Matera; Gonzalo Bertranou or Tomás Cubelli and Santiago Carreras; Juan Imhoff, Jerónimo de la Fuente, Matías Moroni and Emiliano Boffelli; Juan Cruz Mallia. Thus, the only change would be Imhoff for Luciano Cinti as wing and the possible ownership of Cubelli, who entered very well for Bertranou in last Saturday’s match.
The Argentine team will enjoy this Thursday a day off and finally on Friday they will reconnoiter the playing field of the Hollywoodbets Kings Park in Durban.
