Ramiro Moyano returns to Argentina XV

Wing Ramiro Moyano has recovered from a rib injury to be named in Argentina’s starting line-up to face Australia in Salta on Saturday.

He is one of two changes to the XV for the Rugby Championship game this weekend with head coach Mario Ledesma also bringing in Matias Orlando.

Orlando comes into the team for Bautista Ezcurra as Jeronimo de la Fuente shifts to his preferred position of inside centre, while Moyano replaces Bautista Delguy with Moroni moving to the right wing.

The pack remains the same but there are a couple of changes among the substitutes as Santiago Garcia Botta and Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias return to the squad.
