Felipe Contepomi, head coach of Los Pumas, referred to the London camp: "They were three very good days, it is always positive to be able to meet the group again. They helped us to start preparing for the first match against Ireland and to review what we have been working on in recent times".
In turn, he commented on the challenge that lies ahead: "This closing of the Nations Championship brings a huge challenge that we are looking forward to, because it is the opportunity to play against top-level opponents such as Ireland, Italy and France. It is a great opportunity to continue growing and to close the year in the best way."
The only forced change with respect to the squad that made up the camp - in addition to the already announced injuries to Santiago Carreras and Thomas Gallo - is the addition of Facundo Isa [pictured] in place of Santiago Grondona, who suffered an injury.
