WELCOME
Four years awaiting, dreaming of this moment. Four years have
gone by since those Quarter finals against New Zealand, the 2011
champion.
There is nothing else to be waiting for. The 2015 World Cup has
started, in the lands where this beloved sport was born. The 31
Argentine players, together with the technical staff, are facing this
remarkable challenge: a World Cup that is promising to break all
records.
These last four years have not been the usual journey to a World
Cup: it included four series of the Rugby Championship and the
confirmation of the incorporation of the Argentine franchise to the
Super Rugby. The stage is set for this World Cup to be special and I
believe it will certainly be that way.
CARLOS ARAUJO
ARGENTINE RUGBY UNION PRESIDENT

Once more, I would like to express my thanks to the press for their
non-stop work and for following and backing our national teams.
To the sponsors, who are constantly giving us their support. I wish
everybody to perform a great job in the World Cup and hope that
those travelling to London will fully enjoy this competition. An
immeasurable number of people have participated in the Argentine
rugby history to get to this present: directors, coaches, players,
UAR professionals, every single Argentine club, and all their people.
We are ALL part of this World Cup that has already begun. Let us
start enjoying it!

Lalo Galán is a lawyer from La Plata
and all his life has been related to rugby. Formed at the club San Luis de la
Plata, he played in all its divisions and
was team captain of the first division
for a decade.
In his time as a player, he was part of
the UAR’s Second National Team, he
played in the Representative Team of
the city of La Plata and was awarded 10
Honour Pennants at his club.
His passion for rugby spread to other
areas, where he was coordinator and
trainer at kids’ and junior rugby levels,
as well as the coach of the Senior Division of the Club San Luis, with whom
he achieved two promotions to First
Division in 1992 and 1994.
As a rugby director, he filled different
positions at his club and, in 1996, was
member of the first Board of Directors of the URBA (Unión de Rugby de
Buenos Aires). He became President of
that Union in 2007 and returned to the
UAR in 2012. He has been the UAR’s
First Vice-president for a year now.
He has been the Pumas’ Head Coach
since October 2013. He started his career as player in the club Universitario
de Tucumán, where he then made his
first steps as rugby trainer at junior
and senior levels and later became the
coach of the Representative Team of
the province of Tucumán. He also collaborated in the Junior and Sevens National Teams.
His career in international rugby started in Portugal, where he managed to
coach the National Team that in 2007
played a World Cup for the first time in
the history of the country. After a brief
time in the French rugby, Hourcade returned to his native country to join the
national staff.
In Argentina, Hourcade coached the
ICBC Pampas XV and the Jaguars for
several years, taking an important role
in the big growth experienced by the
Argentine Representative Teams. Consequently, in November 2013, he found
himself leading his first matches as the
Pumas’ Head Coach.
A player from Duendes Rugby Club in
Rosario from 1983 to 2001, Raúl played
for the Pumas National Team from 1992
to 2000, period in which he played 20
Tests Matches.
As a coach, he has been connected
with his club, Duendes, where he started coaching the U18 and U19 teams but
quickly took control of the first division
with which he enjoyed two successful
seasons.
He has worked for the National Teams
as video analyst in the technical staff
led by Santiago Phelan and coached
the Jaguars from 2008 to 2010. In 2011
he became part of the UAR Coaches
Staff, first as the ICBC Pampas XV
coach and then as the Pumas’ Assistant Coach.
Germán was a player at Olivos Rugby
Club until 1999, when he stepped off
the field to start his coaching career.
At the beginning, he worked for the
coaching staff at his club, at Champagnat and at CASI, where he worked next
to Santiago Phelan.
In 2008, he started working for the
National Teams, first as video analyst,
then as skills coach and now as Assistant Coach to Daniel Hourcade.
Pablo Bouza, a player that started at
Duendes Rugby Club, where he stood
out as lock and third-row player, had his
chance at the international rugby playing
for Harlequins and Leeds, both in England.
With the Pumas, he played 36 matches,
standing out with his 4 tries in the 2003
World Cup and his participation in the historic tie against the British & Irish Lions in
2005.
In 2010, he was called by Daniel Hourcade
to go on his last tour as player with a National Team, the Jaguars. At the age of
37, Bouza was an important player in the
tough tour around Russia, where he shared
the team with several young players such
as Martín Landajo, Tomás Cubelli, Nicolás
Sánchez, Joaquín Tuculet, Leonardo Senatore and Santiago González Iglesias.
As a coach, he worked at the club Duendes
and was in charge of the High Performance
Plan in the Litoral Region (PLAR Litoral).
He was then called by Daniel Hourcade to
become part of the technical staff, focusing on the line-out and the defence system. Moreover, he was the U20 National
Team’s Manager in 2013.

Emiliano Bergamaschi is the scrum coach of the
Pumas, collaborates with the line-out throwers
and is the one who transmits Daniel Hourcade’s
instructions within the field.
Born in Paraná, he started playing rugby at the
club Estudiantes from that city and then moved
to Atlético del Rosario while he was studying
odontology, where he graduated.
He was an U19 Pumita in 1994 and 1995. He
reached his best rugby level in the team of Santa Fe, was then part of the Buenos Aires representative team and was called to play for the Pumas, playing 3 matches with the team. In 2002,
he started his experience in England, where he
played as prop for Bristol and the Saracens.
An injury in his knee made him come back and
shelter once more in the club that had witnessed
his arrival at the age of seven: Estudiantes de
Paraná. He stopped playing and began his career as coach of the team. He had an experience
at the French Rouen that lasted two year and
the joined the coaches’ staff of the representative teams of Entre Ríos.
He was next to Hourcade along the year 2012
with the ICBC Pampas XV and the Jaguars in
the American Rugby Championship and had
already been working for the UAR at the High
Performance Centres.
Martín Gaitán is, together with Germán
Fernández, the only survivors of the
Pumas technical staff from the previous World Cup. With a really fortunate
career as player, Gaitán played around
ten Test Matches wearing the Pumas
jersey and was able to stand out in the
French club Biarritz Olympique.
After an early end of his playing career
due to a heart condition, this player
formed in the club Estudiantes de Paraná, started his career as coach in the
junior teams at the Biarritz.
His return to the national teams, this
time on the technical side, came with
Santiago Phelan, with whom he worked
together in the Pumas Staff from 2008
to 2013.
This season, Gaitán has been called
by Daniel Hourcade to join the Senior National Team staff and he shares
his experience and knowledge both in
defence and in aspects related to individual skills.
The “Cheto”, as he is known in the rugby world, was born and brought up in
Tucumán Rugby. He started playing at
the age of 7 and at 19 he had already
made his debut in first division and was
playing the Seven de la República with
the representative team of Tucumán.
He was champion with Tucumán Rugby
eight times and with the representative
team of Tucumán seven times, where
he was team captain from 1991 to 1998.
With the Pumas he made his debut
in 1991 against New Zealand and then
played the 1991 World Cup in England.
His second World Cup was in South Africa in 1995. He played a total amount
of 23 Test Matches in a period of six
years.
At present, as a Sports Manager, the
former third-row player from Tucumán
has a key role in the relationship between the players and the technical
staff, as well as with the UAR directors.
He has a very respectable career path
for his position.
He is one of the most memorable faces,
due to the fact that he has been with
the UAR national teams since the year
1992. Boasting an extensive career in
the field of medicine, he graduated
from the University of Buenos Aires
and then specialized in orthopaedics
and traumatology and arthroscopies.
He is a renowned doctor, a sports injury and knee specialist as well, and is a
key staff member as regards the health
of the Argentine national team.
At the same time, he is the official
spokesperson when it comes to giving
medical reports on the team or on any
player who suffers from an injury.
The former first-row player from San
Cirano is an eminent doctor and a wellrecognized source of sports medicine
knowledge.
Formed at Hindú club, where he got to
play at first division as prop, Lucas Toro
was able to continue related to rugby due
to his studies in physiotherapy. He is a referent and multi-champion with his club
Don Torcuato, where was part of the team
that won 4 times the URBA championship
between 2006 and 2009.
In 2010 he wanted to stop playing rugby
but his friends convinced him to play for
one more year. His work with the Pumas
took him to the 2011 World Cup in New
Zealand and he keeps on giving his professional support to players, a key aspect
before and after each match.

Date of Birth: 14/02/1976
Although his first appearance at the
UAR was three years ago to start
working in the Sevens, his relation
with rugby comes from childhood. As
a half-scrum, he called the attention at
the club Córdoba Athletic. He was then
part of the Dogos representative team
and played three test matches with the
Pumas, where he scored a try.
His passion for medicine took him to
the field of physiotherapy. He specialized in High Performance Sports Rehabilitation. He has collaborated in the
representative team of Córdoba and
he has been part of the UAR teams
since 2011. Apart from the Sevens, he
was also with the ICBC Pampas XV and
with the Jaguars. His job, as well as
Toro’s job, is key for the players’ recovery after every encounter and during
the week for the preparation for the
following matches.
Gonzalo Santos was a great third-row
player that got to be the captain of his
club, Olivos. Once he decided to stop
playing rugby, with his physical preparation degree in his hand, moved on to
start working for rugby: first at his club
and then with the UAR national teams.
The physical preparation specialist’s
role demands dedication and knowledge. Thus, Santos is a key part in the
development of the High Performance
national teams and daily work with the
players from the National Teams.
Coming from the club Asociación
Alumni, Rodrigo has been working
with the UAR for more than a decade
so far. He was first involved in the Trust
Fund (Fondo Solidario), then was appointed the Logistics Director and
finally became the Argentine team’s
Manager in 2008. He knows every single corner of the Union and is in charge
of everything that involves the Pumas: facilities, training sessions, fields,
equipment, etc.
His task demands great dedication and
time and he manages to fulfil it with
soundness in every tour or local presentation made by the Pumas. Next to
Daniel Hourcade, Rodrigo Jiménez Salice has travelled well in advance to analyse and decide on the venues and facilities where the Pumas will be staying
during the 2015 World Cup in England.
Daniel Pérez began to be related to
rugby ever since the last year of kids’
rugby moving on to the junior categories. He eventually became a renowned
person in the province of Tucumán
and in the country with respect to his
rugby-related coverage as journalist,
having the experience of three Senior
World Cups and one Junior World Cup.
He started his career in video analysis
in Tucuman Rugby club and Tucumán’s
representative team in 2007 and that is
how he reached, in 2008, the National
Teams: the Pumitas and the Jaguars,
where he worked together with Daniel
Hourcade. When Hourcade took over
the Senior National Team, Pérez became the video analyst of the Pumas,
a task that demands great accuracy
and speed when it comes to the match
analysis.
Logistics is crucial for a national team
and Jorge Ruarte challenges the timing and spaces. Born and brought up in
the Patagonia region, he started playing rugby in Puerto Madryn and when
he finished studying he moved to Buenos Aires.
He studied and graduated in sports
journalism, worked in his profession
and at the beginning of the 21st century he entered the UAR. He has been
working with the Union for more than
ten years now and is very well respected in his position. So far, he has been
next to the Pumas in two World Cups
and since 2007, he has been in charge
of the team’s logistics.
He’s been present at 86 test matches with the team, apart from having
worked for the other national teams,
Jaguars and Pampas XV —team with
whom he won the 2011 Vodacom Cup
and the two series of the Pacific Rugby
Cup in 2014 and 2015.
Jorge is always willing to satisfy any
requirement from the players and the
staff. He is key to the technical staff.

Agulla, HoraciO
Horacio Agulla has had very good performances
in different national teams. He made his debut in
2005 with the U21 National Team at the Junior
World Cup held in Mendoza. Besides, he participated in the Pumas 7s and in Argentina A.
He started his career with the Pumas in December
2005, in a match against Samoa where he scored
a try.
After several good presentations, the powerful
wing played his first World Cup in 2007 in France
and scored a try in the memorable victory against
Ireland. During that World Cup, Horacio was a regular first-team player in the six matches played by
Argentina.
At the beginning of the 2007/2008 season, Horacio left his initial club, Hindú Club, and started gaining experience in the French rugby. After a short
participation in Dax, the fast wing moved to Brive
and finally to the English club Leicester Tigers in
2010, where he stood out until mid-2012. During
the following seasons, he played in Bath.
In 2011 he played his second World Cup in New
Zealand, where he was present in the five games
contested by the National Team.
He is one of the five players in the current squad
that will be playing a RWC for the third time.

AYERZA, Marcos
Originally a player from the Club Newman, Marcos
Ayerza joined the Leicester Tigers in 2006, with
whom he reached the 2007 European Cup finals
and was champion in the 2007 and 2009 Premiership.
Marcos played in the Pumas for the first time in a
test match against South Africa, held in Buenos
Aires at the Vélez Sarsfield stadium, in 2004. Before that, he had already represented Argentina in
its U21 National Team in the 2003 Junior World Cup
held in England and in 2004, organized in Scotland.
He scored his first try against Japan in 2005 and
from that moment, he became a valuable option
to be chosen for the prop position in the National
Team.
In June 2006, he played two tests matches during
the Welsh tour in Argentina and a year later he participated in the 2007 World Cup in France.
In 2011 he played his second World Cup wearing
the Pumas jersey in New Zealand.
He played the four Personal Rugby Championships
with the Pumas, with his 2014 performance standing out, when he played all the matches having a
crucial role when it came to pushing and devastating the rival in the scrum.

BOSCH, Marcelo
Marcelo Bosch had an outstanding participation in
the Junior World Cup in 2005 in Mendoza which
gave him the possibility to be taken into account
for the Senior National Teams and continue his career in France. The player, originated in Belgrano
Athletic Club, can take either the centre or fly-half
position. This versatility opened up the doors of
the Biarritz Olympique, where he played for several
years, and now the English Saracens are the ones
who are enjoying the skills of the Argentine player.
Marcelo made his debut with the Pumas in 2007,
during an Italy tour in the country. Unfortunately,
for a while, some injuries left him out of the squad
list and could not be taken into account by the national coaches. However, he then recovered and
was part of the Pumas in the 2011 World Cup in
New Zealand, being one of the key players in the
Argentine team.
After playing the four Personal Rugby Championships with the Pumas, “Chelo” is one of the players
who has had more appearances in the team for the
last years.

CORDERO, Santiago
Boasting an unbalancing and distracting speed,
Santiago Cordero is no longer a promise but a true
reality. With his great performance in the junior
national teams and the Pumas 7s, Cordero made
his first tour with the Senior National Team in November 2012, although his debut against a big rival
would have to wait still further for a year, when, under Daniel Hourcade’s directions, he finally entered
the field against England.
Formed in Regatas de Bella Vista club, where he
still plays, Cordero had the chance to wear the
Barbarians FC jersey in the friendly match held in
November 2013 against Fiji. In turn, his good performance with the ICBC Pampas XV places him as
a strong option to get his place within the initial
fifteen.

DE LA FUENTE, Jerónimo
The year 2014 was for Jerónimo De la Fuente his
kick-off. The centre player born in Rosario made
his debut with the Argentine jersey in the South
American Championship, a month later played the
matches in the series against Ireland during the
June window and then he enjoyed playing his first
Personal Rugby Championship and finally participated in the international November window scoring a try to Italy.
He joined the U19 Pumitas in 2010 and played the
2011 Junior World Championship held in Italy. In
2012 was part of the Sevens national team and the
Jaguars and has played with the ICBC Pampas XV
for the last three years.
During the current season, he has become once
more a good option for the centre of the field for
the Head Coach, Daniel Hourcade, which made him
achieve his place in the list of the 31 players that
were called for the RWC 2015.
It is worth noting that De la Fuente was contracted
by the UAR to be part of the new Franchise that
will be playing the Super Rugby.

FERNÁNDEZ LOBBE, Juan Martín
Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe was captain of the
Pumas from 2011 to 2014 and he is one of the iconic
players in the Argentine Representative Team.
“Corcho”, who currently plays in France, took part
in the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, where he had
a very important role and demonstrated a great
level at playing the game until he suffered an injury
in the match against Scotland. Although he was
not able to play the following matches, the player
chose to stay in New Zealand with the team.
From 2004 to 2008, Juan Martín shared the Pumas
team with his older brother, Carlos Ignacio, with
whom he also played two years in the Sale Sharks.
Today, with a great standing in the mighty French
Toulon, Fernández Lobbe brings his experience,
presence and game to an Argentine third row that
boasts great junior players.
The player initiated in Liceo Naval has also been
a member of the Argentine Sevens team for three
years.

GALARZA, Mariano
Mariano Galarza made his debut with the Pumas in
a test match against Scotland in June, 2010. He was
then part of the squad that went on tour around
Europe in November of the same year and played
the three games: against Italy, France and Ireland.
He was initiated in the club Universitario de La Plata and then moved to Leinster. He was born in the
city of 25 de Mayo and in 2005 settled in the city of
La Plata in order to study and, at the same time, he
played rugby as a hobby.
During his first stages, Galarza represented Buenos
Aires and made his first apparition in that team in
2006, and in 2008 he represented the province in
the Argentine Championship.
2011 was a great year for the lock: he won the Vodacom Cup with the Pampas XV in April and he
played his first World Cup in New Zealand. In 2012,
he missed the Rugby Championship due to an injury, but he was able to play the tournament the
following years, in 2013 and 2014.
Due to an injury in the shoulder, Galarza was not
present in the preparation matches of the National
Team during the current season, although he was
confirmed to be in the list by the Head Coach, Daniel Hourcade.

GONZÁLEZ AMOROSINO, Lucas
Lucas González Amorosino began his career with a
great start in his original club, Pucará, and a magnific season with the Pumas 7s, reaching the World
Series finals in Dubai and achieving the cup in San
Diego.
During the last seasons, he played with the Leicester Tigers until 2011, when he signed a two-year
contract with the French club Montpellier and later
he changed jerseys for the Cardiff Blues.
With the Pumas, he played the World Cup in New
Zealand and was the one who scored the crucial try
against Scotland which made the Pumas achieve
an important victory to classify in the quarter finals.
Lucas can play in the wing position as well as fullback. He is very quick, has a great kick and can define a match with his movements, as it happened
against Scotland in the 2011 World Cup.

HERNÁNDEZ, Juan Martín
Juan Martín is a synonym of ability and skill. He
boasts a brilliant career in the Argentine National
Team. This multifunctional back can play as fly-half,
fullback or centre. He was a crucial player in the
2007 Bronze Pumas squad in France.
Sixteen years ago, he started his career with the
national team when he played with the U19 in 1999
as well as in the following two years. It did not take
long for his name to be seen at the forefront and,
from 2000 to 2002, he also played with the U21.
The player originated in Deportiva Francesa played
his first World Cup in 2003 and then again in 2007,
when the Pumas got the historic third position. Unfortunately, he missed the 2011 World Cup due to
an injury.
Hernández, who played with the French Toulon
in the last season, is one of the most experienced
players in the National Team, having played 53 Test
Matches.

HERRERA, Ramiro
The Patagonian player born in Comodoro Rivadavia started his rugby career in Chenqué RC and
in 2007 he moved to Hindú Club in Buenos Aires,
where he played in first division in 2009. He played
as lock but then changed to prop position at the
suggestion of his coaches. In 2012 he made his appearance with the Jaguars and the following year
he was called to play with the ICBC Pampas XV.
Undoubtedly, 2014 was a big year for him. In April,
he moved to play with the French club, Castres,
and he made his debut with the Pumas in the June
window in both encounters against Ireland. He also
played his first Personal Rugby Championship,
were he played all the matches, five of which being in the initial line-up. Besides, he was present at
the three encounters in the international November
window.
Having recently had an operation on his knee, the
prop will, however, reach his first World Cup in optimal conditions.

IMHOFF, Juan
The first time that Juan Imhoff was called to represent a senior Argentine team was for the South
American Championship in 2009. With his great
speed, he was one of the big revelations in the Pampas XV team that were champions in 2011 in the Vodacom Cup.
The player was initiated in Duendes Rugby Club in
his native city, Rosario, and some years ago joined
the Racing Metro, where he is currently enjoying a
great moment in his career.
During 2009 and 2010, he played with the Jaguars
and also represented the country in the Sevens category. He was one of the youngest players in the
squad, only 23, at the time that played the 2011
World Cup in New Zealand and scored two tries.
The scorer of three tries in the historic victory of
the Pumas against South Africa during the Rugby
Championship this year, Juan Imhoff is a decisive
player along the last metres and stands out for his
speed and power to break the opponent’s defences.

LAVANINI, Tomás
Tomás is one of the big promises of the Argentine
rugby. He made his first appearance at international level one month after playing the Junior World
Championship, when he was called to participate in
the 2013 Personal Rugby Championship.
Initiated at Hindú Club, he joined the French Racing
Metro, where he played until last season and now
has recently signed contract with the UAR to be
part of the Franchise as from next year.
Lavanini is a player that startles with his passion and
great performance in each match, becoming thus
one of the key players in the Argentine pack for his
participation in the coming 2015 RWC.

LEGUIZAMÓN, Juan Manuel
Juan Manuel Leguizamón made his debut with
the Pumas scoring a try against Japan in 2005. He
started playing rugby at Santiago Lawn Tennis Club
and then in San Isidro Club. He became a professional player when he joined the London Irish, he
then played in the Stade Francais, and finally moved
to Lyon, where he stayed for the last two seasons.
“Legui” was one of the players that best stood out
in the tie match when the Pumas played against the
British and Irish Lions in May 2005 at the Millenium
Stadium.
Moreover, the player from the province of Santiago
del Estero was part of the squad that achieved the
third position in the 2007 World Cup in France and
played with the national team in the 2011 World Cup
in New Zealand.
For the last years, Leguizamón has strengthened his
position as one of the leaders of the national team
and in November 2013 had the honour of being the
Pumas’ captain on the tour during the window.
His courage and dedication in every match played
with the national team are a true demonstration
of the values transmitted by the Pumas and which
make the Argentine rugby so proud.

MATERA, Pablo
Pablo Matera was quickly promoted in the national
rugby after being called for the Buenos Aires Junior
Representative Team in 2012. It only took the payer,
who comes from the club Asociación Alumni, two
years to stand out with the U20 Pumitas when they
played the 2012 and 2013 World Cups. This triggered a quick incorporation to the Pumas squad
and the young 20-year-old became a permanent
third-row player in the senior national team.
In 2013, Pablo played in all the representative teams:
Pumitas, Pampas XV, Sevens and the Pumas. This
made the club Leicester Tigers notice him and contract him to play in the English tournament.
Due to an injury suffered at the beginning of the
2014 Rugby Championship, he was forced to stay
off the field until his return to the National team in
the historic victory against South Africa in Durban.

MONTOYA, Julián
Julián Montoya has been growing at a quick pace
for the last years. The year 2013 was a great year for
this hooker and the starting point of his career in
the National Teams. With the Pumitas, he achieved
the fourth position in the Junior World Cup and that
triggered his participation at the end of the season
with the Jaguars in the Americas Rugby Championship.
He had a very good season outset in 2014 with the
ICBC Pampas XV and with the Pumas in the South
American Championship, which gave him the possibility to make his debut at international level in the
June window, when he played against Ireland and
Scotland. Not having a place in the Rugby Championship, the player from the club Newman participated once more in the Americas.
This season, his regularity allowed him to be the
first option to substitute the team captain, Agustín
Creevy. In turn, he participated in the matches
against South Africa and in the match held in Mendoza against the Wallabies.
Montoya boasts very good skills in the loose game,
great physical power and has improved a lot in the
scrum. Apart from taking the hooker position, he is
also training to become an option as left-side prop.

MORONI, Matías
A great performance with his club CUBA in the local tournament of Buenos Aires and a big general
growth have given Matías Moroni the possibility
to join the Senior National Team, where he had his
chance to step on the field in June 2014 against
Scotland and once more in November against Italy.
He joined the Pumas after his good performance in
the Sevens National Team, and with the Pampas XV
as well in the 2014 and 2015 Pacific Cups.
Matías is one of the players that have been contracted by the UAR to face the Super Rugby in the
following years and can play as centre and wing. In
turn, he has very good skills in attack as well as in
defence.

Lucas is another big revelation that the Argentine rugby has had in the last years, foreseeing a
great future in the national teams. The player from
Tucumán, formed at the club Lince, played the Junior World Championship in 2013 with an outstanding performance.
He started participating in the senior international
rugby as early as in 2014. He was called first to play
with the ICBC Pampas XV, then the South American
Championship, the June window and his first Personal Rugby Championship where he added several
playing minutes to his record as a substitute player.
This season, Noguera participated once more in the
Personal Rugby Championship and was one of the
initial XV in the last friendly match held in Buenos
Aires against the Springboks.

After being absent for two seasons, Juan Pablo Orlandi returned to the field this year with the Pumas.
The prop from Mendoza had had his last appearance at international level against England in November 2013, on the day when Daniel Hourcade, the
Head Coach, was making his own debut.
After his debut with the National Team in 2008,
Orlandi led an important career in the European
clubs, being part of Racing Metro and Bath, among
others. Although he was not part of the 31 players
called up in the first instance, the first-row player
was included in the list replacing Matías Díaz, also a
player from his province.

Undoubtedly, Javier Ortega Desio found in the year
2014 a turning point in his career. In May he played
the South American Championship, in June the series against Ireland and Scotland, and was also part
of the victorious match of the Pumas in the Personal Rugby Championship. Moreover, this player

He joined the Junior national teams in 2010, when
he played the Junior World Championship held in
Rosario. Two years later, he made his debut with
the Pumas in the 2012 South American Championship and he also played with the Jaguars (2012 and
2013), the Sevens (2011, 2012 and 2015) and ICBC
Pampas XV (from 2012 to 2015).
Ortega Desio, who devoted his childhood and part
of his adolescence to the practice of the tennis
sport, left the courts for the rugby field and is now
enjoying the privilege of representing his country in
a World Cup wearing the Pumas jersey.

SÁNCHEZ, Nicolás
Nicolás Sánchez was part of the Under 20 Argentine Team in 2008 and played with the Jaguars for
two years. He made his debut with the Pumas in
2010 against Uruguay in the South American Championship.
In 2011, Nicolás won the Vodacom Cup in South Africa with the Pampas XV, but it was not until June
that year that he played his first international match
against the French Barbarians. Months later, the
fly-half travelled to New Zealand to played his first
World Cup, being the youngest player in the squad,
with only 22 years old.
He started his career at Tucumán Lawn Tennis Club,
then signed his first professional contract with the
French team Bordeaux and in 2014/15 moved to
play with the Toulon team as Joker Medical. He has
recently become part of the group of players that
have been contracted by the UAR to participate in
the Super Rugby.

SOCINO, Juan Pablo
The player coming from Los Matreros started playing in the National Teams in 2007, when he participated in the U19 Junior World Cup and a year later
in the U20 World Cup.
After being absent for several years, in which he
gained experience in Spain, Wales and England, the
centre player came back to the National Teams to
play the Nations Cup in 2012 and then in 2014.
This 2015, after a good season with Newcastle in the
Premiership, he was called up by Daniel Hourcade
to play the matches against the French Barbarians
in June, where he demonstrated a good level and
earned his place among the 36 players that travelled to the preparation in Australia.
Juan Pablo Socino has very good kicking skills and
good effectiveness at the goalposts. He is a very
powerful player, strong in defence and can play as
centre or fly-half.

TETAZ CHAPARRO, Nahuel
Nahuel started his career in the National Teams in
2009, when he played the Junior World Championship in Japan. He then played the South American
Championship in 2010, was part of the Jaguars from
2009 to 2014, of the ICBC Pampas XV in 2010 and
2011, and in 2012 he played his first two matches in
the June window against France and Italy.
He had to wait for two years, until 2014, to return
to the Pumas national team, though it was really
worth it, since he was able to play, during that time,
13 matches (South American Championship, June
and November windows and the Personal Rugby
Championship).
The player, born in General Madariaga, in the province of La Pampa, was formed in La Plata Rugby
Club and then moved to the European rugby, where
he played with the Stade Francais and the Newport Dragons, and in the last season wore the Lyon
Olympique’s jersey, sharing the team with Juan Manuel Leguizamón.

TUCULET, Joaquín
Joaquín had an outstanding performance with the
Pumas in the June window in 2014 due to his safe
stance at the back of the field and his unbalancing
attack. He scored a try against Ireland and another
try against Scotland that same year and therefore
earned his place in the Personal Rugby Championship as an initial XV, where he continued to demonstrate his abilities scroring two tries. Besides, he
played the three matches in the November window.
Coming from the club Los Tilos, Joaquín made his
debut in 2012 against Italy during the June window
and participated in the two matches against France.
On the European tour in November, he played the
three games against Italy, Wales and France.
Since Daniel Hourcade has taken over, Joaquín has
become the Head Coach’s first option as fullback,
choice which is supported by his level.

KINGSHOLM STADIUM
LEICESTER CITY STADIUM
WEMBLEY STADIUM
Capacity: 16,500.
Gloucester’s ground has an enviable history when it
comes to international rugby. Kingsholm hosted its
first Test match way back in 1900, when Billy Bancroft led Wales to a 13-3 victory over England. His
opposite number that day was one Octopus Gamlin, or Herbert to his mother. Kingsholm didn’t host
another international for 91 years and when it did,
12,000 fans watched world champions New Zealand
score eight tries as they cruised past the USA 46-6
in RWC 1991 thanks to a hat-trick from full back Terry
Wright. It was later the venue for a 2000 Rugby
League World Cup match between New Zealand and
Lebanon. Home to Aviva Premiership side Gloucester,
Kingsholm is widely regarded as the noisiest crowd in
the league, largely due to the boisterous inhabitants
of The Shed stand. In 2007 the main grandstand was
redeveloped, increasing the total capacity to 16,500.
Capacity: 32,321.
Like Midlands counterpart Pride Park, the Leicester
City Stadium replaced a decaying old ground with a
state-of-the-art all-seater facility. It has seen significant oval ball action already: Leicester Tigers have
played six matches here, including a 2005 Heineken
Cup semi-final, which they lost to Toulouse, and a
2006 quarter-final in the same tournament, which
saw them defeated by Bath. The jinx was broken by a
win over Llanelli in a European Cup semi in 2007, and
they’ve since got revenge over Bath on the ground,
too. In 2006, to celebrate the centenary of Springbok overseas tours, the stadium hosted a World XV
v South Africa contest. The Springboks took the
honours 32-7.
Capacity: 90,000.
The original Wembley Stadium hosted five of football’s European cup finals, the 1966 World Cup Final,
the landmark 1985 Live Aid concert, and the opening
and closing ceremonies of the 1948 Olympic Games.
Already, the new Wembley Stadium has staged huge
concerts, a UEFA Champions League final, Olympic
football, NFL matches, both codes of rugby and motor sport. Wembley hosted its first rugby international
in 1992, when England defeated a touring Canada
side 26-13 while Twickenham underwent redevelopment, but Wales have played the most games here:
contesting seven internationals while the Millennium
Stadium was being built in the late 1990s. A cherished memory for many Wales fans is Scott Gibbs’
late try against England in 1999, which denied the
‘away’ side a Grand Slam as Wales recorded a famous
32-31 Five Nations victory

ST GEORGE’S PARK
Opened by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in
2012, St. George’s Park is the English Football Association’s national centre for football. Come September
2015 though, it will be the turn of Irish and Argentine
national rugby teams to set up camp in this futuristic
Staffordshire Team Base. Ireland will use St. George’s
Park before heading to London to take on Romania,
while Argentina will make the much shorter journey
to Leicester to face Tonga and Namibia.
