Recalled: Álvaro Galindo

Argentina coach Santiago Phelan has recalled loose forward Álvaro Galindo to his squad for the upcoming Tests against New Zealand and Australia.

Leaving the squad is back Rafael Carballo and prop Maximiliano Bustos, who return to club duty in France this week and miss out on the Tests.

The Pumas are looking to register their first win in the Rugby Championship and first take on the All Blacks in La Plata before Australia in Rosario.

The last time 2012's competition pace-setters New Zealand played in Argentina was in 2006.
