Pumas No.8 Senatore signs for Super Rugby

No.8 Leonardo Senatore is the latest Argentine World Cup star to commit to the country's new Super Rugby franchise.

No.8 Leonardo Senatore is Argentina's latest Rugby World Cup star to sign with his country new Super Rugby franchise.

Senatore, who had been playing club rugby in England for Worcester Warriors, has signed a two-year contract with the Argentine Rugby Union (UAR) until December 2017.

"Everything counted in my decision to return home, to play in such a tournament, be close to the family," Senatore said.

"Super Rugby has an impressive dynamic hard to find in other tournaments... you can see the best rugby in any match."

Senatore was Argentina's first choice No.8 at the World Cup in England, helping them reach the semi-finals last month before bowing out to the Wallabies.

The 31-year-old joins most of his World Cup team mates in the franchise and the majority have been picked for the Pumas' season-ending match against the Barbarians at Twickenham on November 21.
