Julián Montoya has been named in the starting side and will captain Argentina in a test match against South Africa on Saturday, August 5 at 8:10pm (UK time) in Buenos Aires.

El Cápitan will lead his side out for the first of three Los Pumas warm-up matches ahead of the 2023 Rugby World Cup in Paris.

Argentina finished third in last month's Rugby Championship, a campaign that included an impressive victory over the Wallabies of Australia, a game in which Montoya scored his country's second try of the game.  

This weekend's clash will see the hooker line up against club mate Jasper Wiese, who starts for the Springboks at No. 8.
