Juan Figallo gets Argentina call

Editor

Saracens prop Juan Figallo has been called up by Argentina coach Mario Ledesma for Los Pumas’ opening two fixtures of the 2018 Rugby Championship.

Tighthead Figallo will be in contention for their matches against South Africa on 18th and 25th August before returning to Saracens for the beginning of the Premiership season.

Ledesma brought an end to Argentina’s blockade on selecting European-based players by adding Figallo to his squad.

The 30-year-old, who has 24 caps for his country, last represented Argentina at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
