The lock-forward was a summer signing from Super Rugby side Western Force, and missed Argentina's recent test against South Africa having picked up an injury against Wales in July.

Club-mate Simón Benítez Cruz is also with Argentina as they prepare for their clash against the Wallabies in Jujuy on August 29, and again in Mendoza on September 5.
