[QUOTE="ZeFrenchy, post: 514568, member: 47244"] So, by position, it would be: Hookers: Creevy, Posiglioni, Guiñazú Props: Ayerza, Bustos, Figallo, Orlandi, Roncero Locks: Albacete, Carizza, Vallejos, FarÃas Cabello Backrowers: Carballo, De la Vega, Fernández Lobbe, Galindo, Leguizamón, Leonardi, Senatore Scrum-halves: Cubelli, Figuerola, Landajo, Vergallo Inside backs/midfielders: Bosch, Fernández, Sánchez Outside backs: Agulla, Bustos Moyano, Camacho, González Amorosino, Imhoff Utility backs: Hernández, RodrÃguez Gurruchaga Orlandi and Galindo's call ups are a season or two late: they haven't been nearly as good this year as they were last season. In the past they didn't play well for Argentina, so they were left out and now they're called back when they're out of form... I don't really see the point of it. I'm surprised also not to see any of the JWC players involved. I assume they preferred to allow them prepare their first professional season with their clubs. I think the young lock that captained the side and that was hired by Stade français would have been a better option than Vallejo or FarÃas (who, from the numbers, I assume is being taken as a lock). In the forwards, I'd think there os a group of sure starters: Creevy, Albacete, JMFL, Leguizamón. Both specialist tightheads are a level down in terms of open play from the looseheads, and as Figallo and Ayerza can play tighthead, they will probabaly be the starting pair (certainly against Australia at least). De la Vega was very impressive in June. A true openside that Argentina haven't had since Phelan himself, I think he will start. Given that Vallejo is rather average and tha Farias isn't really a lock, I think Carizza will start next to Albacete. In the backs there is more room for rotation, as there are many polyfunctional players of similar level. Probably Hernández is the only one (in Phelan's mind) to have a spot rather safe if uninjured, and I'd think Santiago Fernández is quite certain to start most games. On form, Phelan would have to be out of his mind to leave Imhoff and Amorosino out, but it would be a type of decision that's not unheard of coming from him. [/QUOTE]
