Glasgow Warriors full-back Bernardo Stortoni has been included in Argentina's 24-man squad for the first Test against Scotland next month.

New coach Santiago Phelan is without many of his French-based stars.

And 31-year-old Stortoni has the chance of adding to his 19 caps after missing out on last year's World Cup.

The Pumas meet Scotland at Rosario's Estadio Gigante de Arroyito on 7 June before the sides meet again in Buenos Aires one week later.

The opener will be Argentina's first Test outing since their World Cup campaign, which saw them beat Scotland at the quarter-final stage.

Argentina follow up their two-Test series against Scotland with a clash against Italy in Cordoba on 28 June.

Argentina squad to play Scotland on June 7:

Forwards: S Gonzalez Bonorino (Capitolina), M Ayerza (Leicester), J Gomez (Leinster), J Stuart, P Gambarini (both CASI), A Costa Repetto (Los Matreros), A Tejeda (Overmach Parma), I Fernandez Lobbe (Northampton), E Lozada (Toulon), M Durand (Champagnat), JM Leguizamon (London Irish), A Campos (Pueyrredon), JM Fernandez Lobbe (Sale).

Backs: F Contepomi (Leinster), F Todeschini (Montpellier), G Tiesi (Harlequins), S Fernandez, H Senillosa (both Hindu), B Stortoni (Glasgow Warriors), N Vergallo (Jockey Club Rosario), N Bruzzone, A Lalanne (both SIC), JM Nunez Piossek (Huirapuca), T De Vedia (London Irish).
