Before taking on Italy and France in June and then Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in The Rugby Championship, Argentina will start against humble opposition as the South American giants take on Brazil, Chile and Uruguay in tests this month. Argentina, as normal, will use the matches to give fringe players a chance to impress ahead of the June tests. But, coaches Daniel Hourcade and Martín Gaitan have named a team which includes a number of players from Los Pampas XV and also incldes Leonardo Senatore who started vs the All Blacks in the World Cup Quarter Final last year. The team also includes stars of the future such as winger Manuel Montero Argentina are heavy favorites to again win the tournament. In 2011 Argentina was far too good for all others en route to winning the CONSUR Senior tournament.
