- 51' Lucas Esquivel, a Argentina , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Leo Linck suffering a number of foals already.
