| NOTES |
- Regular second-rower Lautaro Simes is out. This sees Ignacio Gandini playing out of position.
- Yacare are also without a key player as the rampaging Argentine Nicolás Parada Heit is out.
- The scrum-half battle could be pivotal. Agustín Moyano and Juan Cruz Strada have been solid this season. Either player could be on the radar for the July Internationals.
- Juan Bautista Baronio is the leading point-scorer this season with 90 points.
- Both teams are in the hunt for the Semi Finals.
- Los Dogos have five wins for their six prior matches against Yacare.
| PREDICTION |
The in-form Dogos take-on the in-form Yacare in the opening match of the round. Both teams won big in their most recent matches and did so in style. The prior match this season between the teams was tight. Having won on the road, Los Dogos can now make it a double by winning against Yacare in Córdoba. The conditions will encourage positive rugby. Los Dogos are favorites to win at home.
