Los Pumas face Australia in Mendoza Test Match rematch
Los Pumas will face Australia in a second Test Match this Saturday at the Malvinas Argentinas Stadium in Mendoza. The match, scheduled for 18:00 local time, serves as a rematch following Australia's 27-21 victory over Argentina in Jujuy last week.
Argentina's head coach, Felipe Contepomi, has announced several tactical changes to the starting lineup to break a three-match losing streak. Notable adjustments include moving Santiago Carreras to fullback and introducing Nicolás Roger at fly-half. The squad also features potential debutants Facundo Cardozo and Mateo Soler on the bench.
Australia, led by coach Les Kiss, will also present variations, including Ben Donaldson starting at fly-half and the return of captain Harry Wilson. This encounter marks the final home match for Los Pumas in 2026 before they travel to Europe in November for the Nations Championship. The match will be broadcast on ESPN and Disney+.
