(Reuters) - Argentina coach Michael Cheika has named two uncapped players in his 30-man squad to face New Zealand in their Rugby Championship opener in Mendoza next Saturday.

Winger Rodrigo Isgro and fellow back Luciano Gonzalez have both played sevens for Argentina but could now take their bow in the 15-man game as Cheika fine-tunes his options ahead of the Rugby World Cup in France that starts in September.
