The Pumas will begin the international window against a weight rival. This Saturday, from 4:40 p.m., the Argentine National Team will be measured against England at the One Stadium Jorge Luis Hirschi in La Plata. On Thursday afternoon, coach Felipe Contepomi confirmed the starting team with the presence of a Cordoba between 15: Santiago Carreras.
Argentina arrives at this commitment to confidence well, after defeating Lions in Dublin, for the first time in its history. For its part, La Rosa, visits our country with absences of passage following the tour of the Lions team through Australia. Some names that will be absent from the English side are: Maro Itoje, Marcus Smith, Ben Earl and Ellis Genge.
The history of the Argentine team is no different. For this meeting, Contepomi decided to give rest to several names that stood out in the deed of June 20. Juan Cruz Mallía, Santiago Chocobares, Tomás Albornoz and Guido Petti, are some of the figures with which the DT will not have.
In the history between the two, of the 28 games played with each other, England saw the victory in 21 of them, the Pumas in five and two ended up tied. The last background was in 2023 during the World Cup: there were two victories for Europeans (27-10 and 26-23). At that time the Australian Michael Cheika was the Head Coach of Los Pumas.
