Imhoff left out of Argentina squad for June Tests

Racing 92 winger Juan Imhoff has been left out of the Argetina squad to play Italy and France in June due to not playing Super Rugby.

Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade has named a 28-man squad that features 20 players that featured in last years Rugby world cup.

Argentina’s selection policy is to only select players who are playing Super Rugby so Imhoff, Juan Fernandez Lobbe (Toulon) and Marcelo Bosch (Saracens) all miss the June Internationals.

Argentina play Italy in Santa Fe on June the 12th before hosting France on June 19 and 25 in Tucuman.

Hourcade was also unable to select prop Ramiro Herrera, lock Tomas Lavanini and and No 8 Leonardo Senatore who are all suspended for foul play.
