BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentina have called up Nicolas Roger and Ignacio Calles to a 32-man squad that they will take to Australia for their next two Rugby Championship encounters, the Argentina Rugby Union announced on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old Roger, who won a first cap off the bench against England in July, comes in as flyhalf cover for Tomas Albornoz, who will miss the trip after hurting his hand in last Saturday's historic first home victory over New Zealand in Buenos Aires.
