Bristol Rugby lock Mariano Sambucetti has been named in the Argentina team to face Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday.

The 30-year-old – who helped Argentina to a famous 20-20 draw against the British & Irish Lions at the same venue in 2005 – will win his 12th cap for the Pumas.

He missed last weekend's 16-9 defeat against England at Twickenham after failing to recover from an ankle injury.

But he has been picked ahead of Esteban Lozada for this weekend's Test and will start alongside Toulouse star Patricio Albacete and behind the powerful front row of Rodrigo Roncero, Mario Ledesma and Martin Scelzo.
