Argentina make five changes for NZ Sevens

Argentina Sevens head coach Andres Romagnoli has announced his 12-man squad for the fourth and fifth rounds of the 2012/13 Sevens World Series next month.

Currently in seventh place overall with 36 points, Los Pumas' best result was in the last round of 2012 in South Africa, where they reached the Cup semi finals.

With just over three weeks until the Hertz Sevens in New Zealand, Romagnoli has made five changes to his squad with Martin Chiappesoni, Santiago Craig, Matias Orlando, Anibal Panceyra Garrido and Javier Rojas replacing Pablo Matera, Gaston Revol, Francisco Merello, Juan Igancio Bex and Ignacio Pasman.

Both Rojas and Orlando will be making their debuts on the HSBC Sevens World Series, while Bruzzone maintains the captain's armband.

Argentina will face matches with France, Kenya and Tonga in Pool B at the Hertz Sevens on 1-2 February.
