Argentina name 13 players from Jaguares for opening Rugby Championship clash with NZ

Argentina have named 13 players from the Jaguares club in their starting 15's for their opening Rugby Championship clash with New Zealand on Sunday.

Only tighthead prop Juan Figallo and fly‑half Nicolás Sánchez are the starters who play for clubs other than the Super Rugby finalists.

Sánchez forms a half‑back combination with Tomás Cubelli while Jerónimo de la Fuente and Matías Orlando once again combine in midfield.

The back three sees an all‑Jaguares trio line up as Ramiro Moyano and Matías Moroni are on the wings with Emiliano Boffelli at full‑back.

Argentina will play New Zealand at Buenos Aires at 6.05am Sunday while Australia will face South Africa at 3.05am Sunday.
