Moriarty has no regrets: Ross Moriarty didn't hesitate about choosing to play for Wales a despite having previously been an England U20 international. The 21-year-old Gloucester flanker will win his first cap for Wales on Saturday and follows his father Paul and uncle Richard in playing for Wales at international level. “I got well looked after with England at Under-20 level, but Wales gave me a good opportunity and I could never turn it down,” Moriarty told WalesOnline.
“I am happy with how it has worked out, if it came to a choice, I would have to go with the heart and choose Wales because of the history with my family and myself growing up as a Welsh boy. Growing up as young boy in Swansea and my dad and uncle playing for Wales, it was always the dream and winning my first cap at the Millennium Stadium makes it all the more special."
Hernandez set for Argentina return: Juan Martín Hernández will start for Argentina this weekend when they face South Africa in Durban. The Toulon back returns to international action for his first appearance in the 2015 Rugby Championship. Argentina head coach Daniel Hourcade has made extensive changes to his side as Argentina continue to prepare for the Rugby World Cup by giving all of their squad valuable game time. In total there are 11 changes from the loss to Australia two weeks ago as Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro comes in for Ramiro Herrera. Pablo Matera starts in the back row as does Tomas Cubelli at scrum-half as Argentina target a first-ever win over South Africa, having played 18 times and lost 17 with one draw.
