Rugby World Cup stars Santiago Cordero and Matias Moroni have both been named in Argentina’s squad for the final two rounds of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
Santiago Gomez Cora has named his squad of 12 for the final two rounds of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series in Paris and London.
As his side prepares for rugby sevens’ debut in the Olympic Games, GomezCora has recalled Jaguares duo Santiago Cordero and Matias Moroni.
Both have played sevens in the past before heading off to Rugby World Cup 2015 last year and joining up with the Jaguares, but have been named in GomezCora’s side with one eye on Rio.
In Hong Kong and Singapore Javier Ortega Desio was named, with Cordero and Moroni the latest to be trialled by GomezCora.
Argentina currently sit sixth in the overall series standings having reached the final in Cape Town, and finishing fourth in the most recent tournament in Singapore.
The HSBC Paris Sevens takes place on 13-15 May, before the London Sevens a week later. Before they embark on their journey to Europe, the squad will train in Buenos Aires on 5-6 May before departing on 7 May.
Argentina: Santiago Alvarez, Santiago Cordero, John Paul Estelles, Rodrigo Etchart, Baustista Ezcurra, Fernando Luna, MatÃas Moroni, Axel Müller, Gaston Revol, Javier Rojas, Franco Sabato, Germán Schulz.
