Argentina RWC stars to face Baabas

Argentina included several players from their successful World Cup campaign in the 25-man squad announced on Tuesday for next week's match against the Barbarians at Twickenham.

Pumas



Star wing Santiago Cordero, fly-half Nicolas Sanchez, scrum-half Martin Landajo and centre Juan Martin Hernandez will all be available to coach Daniel Hourcade.



The Pumas will also be able to call upon 11 of the forwards who helped them reach the World Cup semi-finals, where they lost 29-15 to Australia, including captain Agustin Creevy.



The November 21 match against the Barbarians will offer scope for revenge of sorts, as Australia coach Michael Cheika is taking charge of the world-famous invitational side.
