Argentine lock Tomas Vallejos declares that the Pumas plan to bully Wales in the scrum at the Millennium Stadium this weekend.

Argentina forward Tomas Vallejos has declared that his side plan to bully Wales up front when the two teams meet this weekend.

Wales have a number of injury problems in the scrum ahead of Saturday's Test, with former captain Ryan Jones and tighthead Adam Jones both major doubts.

Vallejos admitted that the Pumas want to use their powerful pack to dominate territory at the Millennium Stadium.

He told Sky Sports News: "We have a massive belief in our scrum, it is one of the foundations of the team.

"If Jones plays or not it will not change our approach. We will still believe in our scrum and it will play a massive part in the game for us and we know Jones has been a massive player at the top level."

The 27-year-old Scarlets lock was called into the Argentine squad as a late replacement for injured regular Patricio Albacete.
