Cape Town - Argentina will be without the services of wing Ramiro Moyano when they take on New Zealand in their Rugby Championship Test in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
The 28-year-old is still recovering from a rib injury sustained in the Pumas’ victory against Australia on the Gold Coast earlier this month.
Moyano was one of Argentina’s standout performers in their 46-24 loss to the All Blacks in their corresponding fixture in Round Three and scored a brilliant try in which he beat three defenders in that match.
The former Argentina Sevens representative also scored a try in Argentina’s 32-19 victory over South Africa in Mendoza last month.
Apart from Moyano, Argentina head coach Mario Ledesma has also left out back-up flyhalf Joaquin Diaz Bonilla, prop Enrique Pieretto and back-row duo Leonardo Senatore and Rodrigo Bruni of a 30-man squad for this weekend’s Test.
Kick-off is at 00:40 on Sunday (SA time).
