Indeed, he is a player who has been to San Juan before and triumphed - starting in Wales' 23-10 win against the Pumas eight years ago.As Wales prepare for a return to the same venue this Saturday, there are a few of that class of 2018 left in the current squad, with wing Josh Adams and prop Dillon Lewis also starting that day.Aaron Wainwright made his first Test appearance off the bench in that game, while hooker Ryan Elias - preparing to win his 50th cap this weekend - was also a replacement and Tomos Williams an unused scrum-half."It's great to be back here eight years after the last time and how quick that time has gone, it's crazy," said Beard."Argentina are a proud nation with a great rugby side. There's a few of us who've been here before and had some good victories."The squad has changed since then but hopefully we can get a result this weekend."The Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario in San Juan is an intimate venue that holds just over 25,000."They can be hostile crowds but as rugby players and sports people these are the type of events and places that you want to go and play in," added Beard."To experience different crowds and teams is great, so the boys are looking forward to playing on the weekend."Nations Championship: Argentina v WalesSaturday, 11 July (20:10 BST)Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario, San JuanListen on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app which also has live text commentary.
