SOUTH AFRICA, injury free and full of confidence after their 46-15 first Test win, will field an unchanged team against the Argentine Pumas in the second Test in Buenos Aires today.
The Pumas will he without centre Gonzalo Camardon, who was injured in scoring a try last Saturday, and his place goes to Eduardo Simone, who replaced him in that match.
Two other stalwarts, full back Ezequiel Jurado and Diego Albanese, are back after injury, and replace Tomas Solari and Octavio Bertolucci.
Pumas captain Lisandro Arbizu says his team must avoid the elementary mistakes which brought about their downfall last weekend after they led 8-3 in the first half.
"We will just have to be very careful not to make any mistakes this time," said Arbizu. "I am confident we can do better but we will have to concentrate more."
There may also be question marks over Argentinas stamina. New Bath signing Fedenco Mendez, who has just finished a season playing in South Africa for Natal, said: "The South Africans train for some 26 hours a week and the Pumas may train for about eight hours if they can make it."
. Scotland centre and record cap holder Scott Hastings has signed a full time contract with the Scottish Rugby Union, bringing the number of professionals to 40. The 31 year old Hastings, who was dropped for Scotland's match against Australia last Saturday, did not sign up straight away when offered a contract.
