The returning Pablo Matera comes back in on the blindside, taking over the captaincy from the injured Julian Montoya. Augustin Creevy replaces him, making his first start since the 2019 Rugby World Cup – at the ripe old age of 37.

Santiago Grondona replaces Marcos Kremer, who drops to the bench. In fact, just Guido Petti survives from the pack who lost to Gregor Townsend’s men last weekend.

      Stephen Ferris, have New Zealand rugby lost their aura? | RugbyPass Offload | EP 42

      A debut has been handed to Lautaro Bazan Velez, a Sevens player, who will start at scrumhalf. Fellow debutants – hooker Ignacio Ruiz and flyhalf Tomas Albornoz – are named on the bench.

      Many of the changes are injury-enforced. Michael Cheika’s side lost five more players to injury ahead of their decisive Test against Scotland on Saturday. As well as the aforementioned Montoya, the home team already had to do without their first-choice halfback pairing of Tomas Cubelli and Nicolas Sanchez after both tore muscles in the first Test win over the Scots in San Salvador de Jujuy on July 2.

      Now they must do without Montoya, Santiago Cordero, Domingo Miotti and Felipe Ezcurra, all hurt in last Saturday’s 29-6 second Test loss in Salta.

      Benjamin Urdapilleta is also out after failing to recover from a leg injury, the Argentine Rugby Union confirmed on Tuesday.

      Super Rugby Pacific's rebirth can finally restore the missing All Blacks edge

      Like many crypto enthusiasts, My dad was initially drawn to the platform by its seemingly professional interface, an array of cryptocurrencies available for trading, and the alluring promises of high returns. The exchange looked reputable, offering a seamless user experience. Dad decided to deposit a significant amount of $50,000 to try his hand at crypto trading. Everything appeared legitimate, and after a few weeks, his account balance had grown to over $200,000. I remember how thrilled he was with his success and wanted to cash out some of his profits. However, when he tried to withdraw funds, problems began to emerge. The platform’s customer service team contacted him with an urgent request: to unlock his funds, he would need to deposit an additional $40,000. The explanation provided was that there were "processing fees" associated with large withdrawals, and that this extra deposit was required before the investor could access any of his money. That’s when I began doing my research and in the process, I found that this is in fact a common scheme. My brother in-law recommended a Tech company called GearHead Engineers, which has been helping victims like my dad to successfully withdraw their funds without paying the unfair fees. We did contact them through their email, gearhead(@)engineer(.)com and after a series of communication, they got back every single penny back. This only took them 4 days. I must admit that we were impatient but it turned out great. Reach out to them.

      The Team That Reclaimed My Stolen Cryptocurrency/ Hack Savvy Tech


      As an Australian student with a deep passion for studying law in the UK, I have always been committed to pursuing higher education and advancing my career. My dream was to attend one of the prestigious universities in the UK, and like many students, I was searching for scholarships to ease the financial burden of studying abroad. However, what began as an exciting opportunity soon turned into a nightmare.I came across an advertisement on Facebook for a scholarship opportunity, which promised to cover all my tuition fees and living expenses. The offer seemed too good to be true, but as a young student eager to pursue my dreams, I didn’t think twice. The scholarship application process appeared legitimate, and I was soon in contact with someone who claimed to represent a reputable organization. I was asked to pay an upfront fee as part of the application process, which I believed would be reimbursed once I received the scholarship. Excited about the possibility of studying in the UK, I didn't hesitate to pay the required amount AUD 15,000.The money I paid wasn’t just from my own savings; my parents had to borrow the money to help me fulfill my dream. They trusted that I was making the right decision, and they supported me in this endeavor, hoping that it would set me on a path to a successful future. Unfortunately, as the weeks passed, I received no updates, and all communication from the supposed scholarship provider suddenly stopped. When I tried to reach out, the contact information I had was no longer working, and the website I had applied through was taken down. Realizing that I had fallen victim to a scam, I was devastated. The money, which my parents had borrowed with great effort and sacrifice, was gone, and my hopes for studying abroad seemed shattered.Feeling helpless, I turned to various recovery services, hoping that someone could help me get my money back. Most services offered little more than false promises and vague advice, leaving me feeling more frustrated than ever. That’s when I discovered HACK SAVVY TECH. After extensive research and reading positive reviews from other scam victims, I decided to give them a try. HACK SAVVY TECH acted swiftly, gathering all the necessary information, tracking the scammer's digital footprint, and initiating the recovery process. To my relief, after several weeks, they successfully recovered the full amount of AUD 15,000. I couldn’t believe that what seemed like an impossible task had become a reality.Now, I wholeheartedly recommend HACK SAVVY TECH to fellow students and anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation. They provided me with both the expertise and the support I needed, restoring not only my finances but also my faith in the possibility of recovering from such a terrible experience.
