Ledesma: Personal reasons

Argentina have released hooker Mario Ledesma ahead of their third and final tour Test against Scotland on Saturday.

Monday's news was broken by the Argentine Rugby Union, who explained that coach Santiago Phelan had 'released the hooker of 71 caps for personal reasons'.

The 36-year-old Clermont veteran is likely to have his Pumas place taken by Alberto Vernet Basualdo in the starting XV at Murrayfield.
