Pumas name 35-man squad

Argentina coach Santiago Phelan has named a 35-man home-based squad for the training camp ahead of this summer’s Tests against Scotland and Italy.

Four men who clinched the historic bronze medal in last year’s World Cup are part of the group – Manuel Contepomi, Hernan Senillosa, Martin Durand and Federico Serra.

The squad will be led by physical coach Mariano Fernandez, who flew to Pensacola last week to view the facilities at the camp.

Scotland will play the Pumas near Buenos Aires on June 7 while Italy visit the country a week later.
