Article in English:
However, since that squad was named, the Pumas have had to replace 4 players due to injury.Argentina has been hit with the loss of four players for the November Internationals. Second-rower Matías Alemanno, No8 Rodrigo Bruni, loose head prop Facundo Gigena, and fullback Juan Cruz Mallía have all been ruled out of the tour due to injury.
Changes have seen Lucas Paulos, Joaquín Oviedo, Rodrigo Martínez, and Santiago Cordero replacing the four injured Pumas. They will join the roster ahead of the opening match of the tour. Argentina face France in Paris, Italy in Treviso, and Ireland in Dublin in November. -
Ireland warm up for the ABs by giving Japan a thumping. Loving the BBC's headline.

Probably no need for a match thread, but this is the Japan squad for their game v Portugal:
Media release: http://en.rugby-japan.jp/2021/11/12/brave-blossoms-team-announced-ahead-of-portugal-match/
Hawke's Bay supporters will remember Grant Dearns (former Magpies Strength and Conditioning coach). His and Tanya Dearns' son Warner (a lock of more than 2m) has been named on the bench for his Japan debut. -

Highlights Spain v Fiji
Full match:Spain their own worst enemies
How Jaco didn’t send at least one Fijian to the bin is baffling

Bokke 2 out of 2 so far.
England will be a tough test. WC final repeat.
