The Western Force is rapt to confirm the re-signing of Los Pumas half-back Agustin Moyano for the 2027 Swyftx Super Rugby Pacific season.
The announcement comes fresh from the 23-year-old scrum-half playing half an hour off the bench for Argentina against the world champion Springboks alongside Force teammate Leonel Oviedo who made his international debut.
The 173cm half-back also played against Scotland last month in the Nations Championship, taking his Argentina caps to seven after debuting against England in July last year.

Moyano joined the Force ahead of the 2026 season on an injury cover contract and impressed with his energy, work rate and speed.
He played six Super Rugby games, all as a finisher, displaying passing accuracy with a 93 per cent pass completion rate combined with ball-carrying threat.
Cordoba-born Moyano was part of the Dogos team that won the 2024 Super Rugby Americas title, while he represented Argentina at the 2023 World Rugby U20 Championship.
Moyano adds to a quality crew of half-backs signed for 2027, along with Wanneroo junior Nathan Hastie and Australia A rep Henry Robertson, who is on the road to recovery from an ACL injury.
Force head coach Simon Cron said: “It’s amazing we’ve been able to hold on to Gus. He’s a great human and an amazing, talented player.
“He had limited minutes this year due to the performance of the two other half-backs. However, we want to play him as much as we can.
“He’s lightning quick to the breakdown. He clears the ball so quickly that it allows us to play on top.
“Communication between the game drivers is going to be a key for us to keep working on with him, developing his English language. He’s a really important signing for us, offering depth and quality.”
Moyano said he was thrilled to re-commit to the Force, stating he enjoyed his maiden season in the west, citing the playing group, his own development and life in Perth.
Moyano said: “I’m really excited to be staying with the Force for another season.
“I’ve really enjoyed my time here, and one of the main reasons I wanted to stay was the great group we have. I have some really good teammates, both on and off the field, and that makes being part of this club very special.
“I also really enjoyed living in Perth, so I’m looking forward to coming back, continuing to grow with the team and enjoying the city for another year.”
