(Reuters) - Argentina have included captain Julian Montoya and the first-choice halfback pairing of Tomas Cubelli and Nicolas Sanchez in a 34-man squad for the two tests against Australia in the Rugby Championship, the Argentine Rugby Union said on Thursday.

Coach Michael Cheika, the former Wallabies coach, has also brought back Santiago Cordero and Benjamin Urdapilleta, who were among those injured in the three-test series against Scotland this month that Argentina narrowly clinched last Saturday in a dramatic last-gasp victory at Santiago del Estero.
