It is the same XV that played against Wales in July, except for the absence of Cubelli (injury). Ezcurra is much more physical than Bertranou (and a better defender). Against the ABs I reckon Bertranou will be starter.

Apparently, we will have to wait at least 50 or 60 minutes to see the usual fireworks that guarantee the presence of Eben Etzebeth and Tomás Lavanini on the field. Alemanno would start the game paired with Petti in the second row, and Lavanini (also Isa) would be used as impact players.
