Pumas forced into backline re-shuffle

The Pumas have shuffled their back line for the second Test against Wales at Principality Stadium this weekend following the suspension of full back Juan Cruz Mallía for his red card in the 20-20 draw last Saturday.

Wing switches to full-back, while centre Matías Moroni moves to the wing to allow Santiago Chocobares to join one of last weekend’s try scorers, Jerónimo de la Fuente, to come off the bench into the midfield.

Bautista Delguy replaces Santiago Cordero on the other wing, while among the replacements Felipe Ezcurra and Juan Imhoff come onto the bench.

“Since we started the tour, and because we have been apart for so long, we have been saying that every day is important,” said Pumas heads coach, Mario Ledesma.

“The most important thing is to start gelling. It’s getting better and I think we will surely see a better game this weekend.”
