Wales lock Adam Beard will take the field against Argentina this weekend seeking to recreate the success he experienced during a 2018 visit to San Juan. Several teammates from that victorious eight-year-old squad—including wing Josh Adams and prop Dillon Lewis—are also included in the current selection to face the Pumas at an intimate stadium known for its hostile playing environment.

Beard has rebuilt his position following a disappointing Six Nations campaign that included costly errors in the France match and subsequent relegation to the replacements bench. His return to the starting side coincided with a strong showing against Fiji in the Nations Championship, which his head coach Steve Tandy identified as one of his better recent performances. The 31-year-old expressed enthusiasm about his prospects despite being among the older members of the squad, indicating he still has significant contributions to make for Welsh rugby.
