Contepomi and Luguizamon to start against Scotland

Felipe Contepomi and Juan Manuel Leguizamon have been recalled to Argentina's starting line-up for the clash with Scotland on Saturday. Veteran fly-half Contepomi is returning to the Pumas fold after missing the entire 2009 international campaign with a serious knee injury. The 32-year-old will captain the side from stand-off for the first of two Tests against Andy Robinson's side in Tucuman. Flanker Leguizamon missed out on last November's tour of Britain, where Argentina managed to secure a narrow 9-6 win over Scotland in Edinburgh. Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, who will start at number eight, is looking forward to playing in front of a packed Estadio Monumental Jose Fierro. "This is my first time in Tucuman and I've felt the people's love since we arrived at the airport," he said. "We are anxiously looking forward to the Scotland match on Saturday. We've prepared ourselves very well in the physical aspects and worked a lot on technical points. "I think we are in good form and we'll get to the match day in good condition." Argentina: 15 M Rodriguez-Gurruchaga, 14 L Borges, 13 G Tiesi, 12 S Fernandez, 11 H Agulla, 10 F Contepomi (captain), 9 A Lalanne; 8 JM Fernandez Lobbe, 7 JM Leguizamon, 6 G Fessia, 5 P Albacete, 4 M Carizza, 3 M Scelzo, 2 M Ledesma, 1 R Roncero
Replacements: 16 A Creevy, 17 M Ayerza, 18 M Galarza, 19 A Campos, 20 A Figuerola, 21 I Mieres, 22 L Gonzalez-Amorosino.
