Born in Belgium, ESTEBAN LoZADA played his first Test Match with the Pumas in the 2006 Tour to England, Italy
and France. In Argentina he played for C.A.S.I., apart from being part of the Buenos Aires squad. During 2007/08
season, he started his international career when he arrived at Toulón in France, where he was appointed captain
and levelled the team up to Top 14.
His strong mentality has always helped him to play with courage and defend the Argentinean jersey as a real Puma.
