Imhoff misses out on Argentina squad

Buenos Aires - Flying Racing 92 wing Juan Imhoff will miss out on playing Italy and France next month after Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade named a 28-man squad on Tuesday.

Hourcade has included 20 players who featured in his squad that made the Rugby World Cup semi-finals in October.

But only players now registered in Super Rugby are eligible for Los Pumas, meaning Imhoff, Juan Fernandez Lobbe (Toulon) and Marcelo Bosch (Saracens) miss out.

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

Hourcade will have to do without prop Ramiro Herrera, lock Tomas Lavanini and and No 8 Leonardo Senatore, all suspended for foul play during Super Rugby.
