Chile vs Argentina XV Predictions - Chile to cover against Argentina XV

These sides have never before met.

Chile are preparing for their first every foray into the Rugby World Cup later this year. They produced some stellar performances during qualification, no more than when they defeated the more fancied USA.

Last week Chile played their first warm-up clash for the showpiece event. They lost 26-25 to Uruguay, who are also preparing for the World Cup.

It was an evenly contested fixture, as the score suggests and another very strong performance from Chile. They will be pleased with how the preparations are going.

Chile will be looking to make some changes to their side this week. While eager to get enough time in the legs of key players, they cannot afford injuries at this stage.

Argentina XV are effectively a second-strong side from Argentina. It also gives the country an opportunity to get game time into the legs of players who may be called up at a later stage to the national side.

While it isn’t a side going to the World Cup, they are offering up valuable game time to some nations that are. After beating Namibia 34-27 last week, the Argentines will be looking for another victory here.

Considering the amount of travel involved, the side is expected to make a few changes.
