LUCAS GoNZÁLEZ AMoRoSINo had a great performance in his original club, Pucará, and had a magnificent season
with the Pumas 7’s, reaching the finals at the Rugby World Cup in Dubai and obtaining the Cup in San Diego.
During the last seasons, he played at Leicester Tigers and in 2011 he has signed with Montpellier for two years.
In 2010, he played the three games that Argentina played in June, and other three games during the European tour.
In New Zealand 2011 he played his first Rugby World Cup, where he scored a very important try against Scotland,
that gave The Pumas the victory and helped to classify to quarters.
Lucas, who can play mainly as fullback or fly-half, is a very fast player that can make decisions on the spur of the
moment. Apart from this, he has a wonderful kick and his moves on the field may determine the game, just as he
demonstrated in New Zealand 2011 and Rugby Championship 2012.
