Uruguay has opted for new blood for the November Internationals. It comes with Los Teros having successfully qualified for Rugby World Cup 2027<\/a>. Attention now turns to expanding the player base as Uruguay look to have healthy competition for places on the roster come Australia 2027.<\/p>\n

The roster comes with three striking points. The first is no place for Mateo Sanguinetti. The veteran loose head prop is out of the tour with a knee injury sustained against Chile in RWC Qualifying. Santiago Cagnone has been called-up in his place. Cagnone is uncapped. He played for Uruguay at the 2023 World Rugby U20 Trophy. He comes from Sporting Rugby in Mar del Plata, Argentina.<\/p>\n

The second is that there are no European-based players included. This is by design as players are to be called-up on a game-by-game process. The likes of Baltazar Amaya, Santiago Arata, Diego Arbelo, Juan Gonz\u00e1lez, Germ\u00e1n Kessler, and regular captain Manuel Leindekar are likely to all join the roster in Europe.<\/p>\n

The third is the selection of Francisco Gonz\u00e1lez Capdevila. The 23-year-old arrives with Super Rugby Americas experience for Los Pampas.<\/a> The fullback comes from SIC club in Buenos Aires. He qualifies for Uruguay via ancestry.<\/p>\n

Additional players could also be called-up from Europe in November. Two examples include former URU academy player Franco Scaldaferri who is a utility back for Italian club Colorno, back-rower Arturo Ten Hoever who played for Niort in France and toured with Uruguay last year but is uncapped.<\/p>\n

The roster named to travel from Uruguay to Europe contains only 24 players. For this reason, Rodolfo Ambrosio\u2019s roster is thin in a number of positions including second-row, scrum-half wing and fullback. Arborio is taking five uncapped players to Europe.<\/p>\n

Portugal are presently ranked 20th, Romania 21st and Uruguay 19th. World Rugby will use the rankings as seedings by dividing the 24 teams into four pots: (a) 1-6, (b) 7-12, (c) 13-18 and (d) 19 and lower.<\/p>\n
