The Argentine rugby team, known as Los Pumas, will face Australia in a test match scheduled for this Saturday at 6:10 PM at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza. This match will be broadcast live on ESPN and Disney+.

The match takes place after Los Pumas suffered a defeat against the same rival in Jujuy. This will be an opportunity for the team to seek to improve its performance following what was considered a lackluster showing in the previous encounter.

For this match, coach Felipe Contepomi has made four changes compared to the team that played in Jujuy. These changes are intended to strengthen Los Pumas' lineup in their final home appearance of the year.

In addition, the test match represents one of the last opportunities for players to prove their worth before the World Cup begins. The Argentine team aims to bounce back and perform well against the Wallabies.
