Leinster out-half Felipe Contepomi will miss Argentina's Test Match against Wales on June 11 because he will be sitting medical exams at The Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin.

He should be available for the second Test on June 17 in Buenos Aires and he knows from the Celtic League that it will be a big challenge, even if Wales leave some players at home.

"It doesn't matter who they rest, Welsh rugby has a lot of good players, they are very lucky," he said.

"Wales is getting back to where it was in its great days. They also have a very good new coach in Jenkins. It's always tough facing a touring side looking to impress a new leader."
