Bado could miss out

Uruguay second-row Juan Carlos Bado is a doubt for Tuesday’s Aussie Stadium clash with Georgia after contracting a throat infection.

The 29-year-old Begles player has been named in the South Americans’ starting line-up but his place will go to Juan Miguel Alvarez if he fails to recover.

Coach Diego Ormaechea has made three changes from the side defeated 60-13 by Samoa in Perth on October 15, with fly-half Sebastian Aguirre, flanker Hernan Ponte and winger Alfonso Cardoso all included.

Team: J Menchaca; A Cardoso, D Aguirre (cpt), M Mendaro, C Baldasari; S Aguirre, J Campomar; R Sanchez, D Lamelas, P Lemoine, JC Bado, J Alzueta, N Grille, H Ponte, R Capo. Replacements: JA Perez, E Berruti, G Storace, N Brignoni, M Gutierrez, B Amarillo, J Pastore.
