Gonzalo named for South Africa games

07/09/2022

Dragons RFC scrum half Gonzalo Bertranou has been named in Argentina’s 32-man squad for their last two Rugby Championship matches against South Africa.

Veteran hooker Agustin Creevy was one of four regulars restored to the squad and now has a chance to set a new appearance record for Argentina - after being left out of the last two tests in New Zealand.

The 37-year-old won his 94th cap against Australia in San Juan on August 13 but missed the 25-18 win over the All Blacks in Christchurch, which was followed by a 53-3 defeat in Hamilton last weekend.

Argentina host the world champion Springboks in Buenos Aires on September 17 and then play them in Durban one week later. Both countries have a chance to win the annual southern hemisphere championship.

Forwards: Matias Alemanno (Gloucester), Eduardo Bello (Saracens), Rodrigo Bruni (Brive), Agustin Creevy (London Irish), Thomas Gallo (Benetton Treviso), Juan Martin Gonzalez (London Irish), Santiago Grondona (Exeter Chiefs), Marcos Kremer (Stade Francais), Tomas Lavanini (Clermont Auvergne), Pablo Matera (unattached), Santiago Medrano (Worcester Warriors), Julian Montoya (Leicester Tigers), Joaquin Oviedo (Perpignan), Guido Petti (Bordeaux Begles), Ignacio Ruiz (Jaguares XV), Joel Sclavi (La Rochelle), Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro (Benetton Treviso)
