Captain Montoya confirmed that the team “needs to improve” against New Zealand

Las Pumas captain Julian Montoya says the Argentina rugby team “needs to improve” to face New Zealand at their best in next Friday’s France 2023 World Cup semi-final in Paris.

“We know the team needs to improve. We need to be sure about many things. And if we push ourselves, we know what we can give,” said the 29-year-old Hooker, currently a member of Leicester Tigers in English rugby.

Albiceleste’s representative put in a superb performance to beat Wales 29-17 in the quarter-finals at the Velodrome in Marseille last Saturday.

“We were a long way from playing a perfect match but we will be back in the top four in the competition and that’s something to be proud of,” said the player who emerged from Newman’s coaching ranks.

“We are all proud to wear this team and this shirt,” he added.

“We trust each other. We are a very close-knit group. Only fifteen players are seen in the field; There are twenty three of us who signed the form. But we have a bunch of guys working day and night to support us, behind us. It’s a team effort,” Montoya summed up.

The team had a day off today in Marseille and tomorrow they will make a trip to Paris, starting preparations in the French capital for the main clash against the All Blacks scheduled for Friday at 4:00 pm in Argentina (9:00). P.M. local time) in Stade de France, from St Denis.

The Santa Fe Santiago Chocobares center will be monitored by a medical team in the next few hours to determine his availability after a head injury forced him to be replaced in the clash against the Welsh team last weekend.
