\nChile made their Rugby World Cup debut in France 2023.
\nBrazil has never qualified for a Men\u2019s Rugby World Cup.
\nBoth teams feature six replacement forwards and two backs.
\nBrazil\u2019s line-up is very different to that which faced the Argentina XV in a warm-up match. The starting line-up features nine changes. Thiago Oviedo (fly half) and Jo\u00e3o do Amaral (fullback) are the only backs retained in the same positions.
\nArgentine Thiago Oviedo debuts for Brazil at fly half and Englishman Raphael Hollister debuts at inside center. Both men meet eligibility requirements via a parent.
\nCarlo Mignot starts at outside center. This gives Brazil a 10-12-13 line-up of players from Argentina, England and France.
\nLos C\u00f3ndores have two changes to their starting line-up from that which defeated Romania in Santiago. Crist\u00f3bal Game is out through suspension. This sees I\u00f1aki Ayarza moving from wing to fullback and Nicol\u00e1s Saab named on the wing.
\nChile enter with 8 players who also started for Chile vs Brazil in the RWC Qualifier<\/a> last October. They are: Javier Carrasco, I\u00f1aki Gurruchaga, Santiago Pedrero, Javier Eissmann, Raimundo Mart\u00ednez, Alfonso Escobar, Nicol\u00e1s Garafulic, and Santiago Videla.
\nInternational competition between Brazil and Chile began in 1951.
\nBrazil\u2019s most successful period against Chile was during the RWC 2015-2019 cycle. All four of Brazil\u2019s wins over Chile occurred during the Americas Rugby Championship (ARC) years.
\nThe occasion will see a first-ever double-header wherein Brazil\u2019s Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s test teams will both take to the field. As Yaras face the Netherlands at 11am and Os Tupis face Chile at 3pm.
\nAs Yaras will debut \u00a0at the Women\u2019s Rugby World Cup later this year.
\nThe match officials are all South Americans and neutrals. They are from Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.<\/p>\n
