BUENOS AIRES, Dec 2 (Reuters) - The Argentina Rugby Union (UAR) has rescinded its sanction against three players who used racial and xenophobic comments on social media, freeing them to play in Saturday's Tri-Nations match against Australia.
Pablo Matera was stripped of the captaincy on Tuesday and he, Guido Petti and Santiago Socino were suspended for posting comments disparaging Black people and those from other South American nations between 2011 and 2013.
