Bottom side Newcastle include Pumas duo while Bristol change five
By Liam Heagney
Los Pumas centres Matias Orlando and Matias Moroni have been named to start by Newcastle in Friday night’s Gallagher Premiership home game versus Bristol. Moroni, a try-scoring sub in round five of The Rugby Championship, was last week promoted from the Argentina bench by Michael Cheika to take over in Durban from club colleague Orlando in the Test midfield versus the Springboks.
Both centres will now start for the Falcons having arrived in England on Monday night and trained with Dave Walder’s team on Tuesday. For Moroni, his selection heralds a Newcastle debut after he joined the club following last season’s Premiership title victory with Leicester.
Newcastle will surely benefit from having The Rugby Championship duo in their team for a round four match they come into having lost their opening three games - including last Saturday’s disspirited hammering at crisis club Worcester who have since been suspended from the Premiership.
Walder said: "When players of that quality become available you have just got to pick them. They landed on Monday evening, they were training with the team on Tuesday and they have just slotted straight in.
"Matias Orlando is obviously familiar with a lot of what we do having been with us for a couple of seasons already, and even during their time away with Argentina I have been speaking to them both regularly and communicating around what we’re trying to do with the team here. It’s a big boost to have those guys available to us.”
Table toppers Bristol make five changes to their XV for the trip to bottom side Newcastle, midfielder Jack Bates among the changes that also sees the first start this season at scrum-half for Andy Uren while Jake Woolmore deputises for the rested Ellis Genge at loosehead.

As an artist, I’ve always been focused on my creative pursuits and never really ventured into the world of high-risk financial investments. But, like many others, I was drawn to the idea of making money quickly through Forex trading. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a Forex scam and lost a large portion of my savings. The financial loss was devastating, but the emotional toll was even worse. I felt betrayed, and hopeless, and wasn’t sure where to turn next. One day, while browsing through Red Note, a platform where people connect over shared experiences, I came across a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They shared how they managed to recover their lost funds through a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Desperate for a solution, I decided to reach out to them and explain what had happened to me. I was initially skeptical, unsure whether this was just another scam or if it could be the real deal. To my surprise, the team at Tech Cyber Force Recovery was professional, compassionate, and genuinely interested in helping. They listened carefully to my story and assured me that they had the expertise and resources to help recover my lost funds. The process would take time, they said, and I’d need to provide some documentation, but they were confident that they could help. After several conversations and a thorough investigation, they started working on my case. The results were incredible. Within a relatively short period, Tech Cyber Force Recovery managed to recover nearly all of the funds I had lost. It wasn’t an easy process, and it required patience, but the team’s dedication, attention to detail, and methodical approach paid off. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief and gratitude. What had once seemed like a permanent loss was now being reversed, thanks to the help of Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Not only did the recovery restore my financial situation, but it also restored my sense of trust and confidence. I had almost given up hope, but now, with my funds recovered, I feel like I can move forward. I’ve learned valuable lessons from this experience, and I’m more cautious about my financial decisions in the future. What began as a desperate search on Red Note turned into a life-changing recovery. Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I now feel more hopeful about my financial future, with the knowledge that recovery is possible.telegram (@)techcyberforc texts (+1 5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7)
