Hernandez boosts dangerous Pumas

Juan Martin Hernandez is likely to return to the Argentina team to meet Ireland on Saturday, but according to sources within the Pumas camp, he will feature at 15 as opposed to 10.

Hernandez boosts dangerous Pumas

The Racing Metro player tormented Ireland during their 2007 World Cup exit with three drop-goals, but was a doubt for the weekend after going off injured with a thigh strain in their victory over Wales and missing last weekend’s defeat to France.

His training was curtailed yesterday but he will undergo a fitness test tomorrow with members of the squad already positive about the outcome. However, regardless of the result of that test, Nicolas Sanchez looks set to retain his place at out-half.
