Argentina make three changes for next Test

The Pumas have made three changes to their side for the second rugby Test against Wales on Sunday (NZ time), as the build-up to their match against the All Blacks continues.

Felipe Contepomi will play at second five-eighth in the team named today by coach Marcelo Loffreda.

He will replace Rafael Carballo in that position.

Francisco Leonelli comes in for Jose Maria Nunez Piossek on the right wing, and flanker Martin Durand has recovered from a back injury to replace Juan Manuel Leguizamon.

Contepomi, who has 317 points for the Pumas in 47 tests, missed the 27-25 first-test win over Wales last weekend to stay in Ireland and sit medical exams.

Argentina:

Juan Martin Hernandez, Francisco Leonelli, Gonzalo Tiesi, Felipe Contepomi, Lucas Borges, Federico Todeschini, Agustin Pichot (captain); Rodrigo Roncero, Mario Ledesma, Martin Scelzo, Ignacio Fernandez Lobbe, Rimas Alvarez Kairelis, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, Martin Durand, Gonzalo Longo.

Reserves:

Pablo Gambarini, Marcos Ayerza, Manuel Carizza, Martin Schusterman, Nicolas Fernandez Miranda, Jose Maria Nunez Piossek, Federico Serra.
