Los Pumas look to bounce back against Wales in the Nations Championship | OneFootball

Los Pumas will have a new chance to bounce back in the Nations Championship when they face Wales this Saturday at the Bicentenario Stadium in San Juan. The Argentine national team will try to put behind them the defeat suffered in their debut against Scotland and earn a win that will help them settle into the international competition.

The team coached by Felipe Contepomi comes into the match needing to correct the mistakes shown in the 47-38 loss to Scotland, especially in defensive aspects and the intensity of their play. The Argentine coach stressed the importance of improving maul defense and regaining concentration during the different phases of the match.

For this clash, Los Pumas will make five changes to the starting lineup. Among the most notable are the returns of Marcos Kremer, Efraín Elías, and Justo Piccardo, as well as the inclusions of Boris Wenger and Bautista Delguy.

The Argentine lineup will have Julián Montoya as captain, while Guido Petti will reach a special milestone by playing his 100th match in the Los Pumas jersey.

On the other side will be Wales, a historically demanding rival that will look to take advantage of the Argentine side’s doubts. The clash will be key for both teams in their ambitions within the new international tournament.

With the support of the San Juan crowd, Los Pumas will try to recover their best form and earn a victory that allows them to keep growing in a competition that brings together the leading national teams in world rugby.
