Overview
- The 34-man group was announced Tuesday and will open Argentina’s Nations Championship campaign on July 4 in Córdoba against Scotland.
- Coach Felipe Contepomi deliberately omitted players involved in the French Top 14 final and several injured regulars, leaving Toulouse and Montpellier finalists unavailable for the opener.
- The roster pairs veteran leaders such as Julián Montoya, Pablo Matera, Guido Petti and Matías Alemanno with five uncapped or invitational players to accelerate development.
- Six players who featured this year in Super Rugby Americas are included, four of them receiving their first senior call-ups, signalling greater reliance on the domestic pathway.
- Contepomi said the squad will be supplemented as July progresses once club fixtures finish and injured players recover ahead of Tests with Wales on July 11 and England on July 18.
