Over the summer, Elizalde became a senior international for the Pumas, earning four caps, all at full back, since making his debut against England in July. And while the Bears man is a way off dislodging Santi Carreras from the 15 jersey at international level, at just 21 years old, he has become a development project for Contepomi.
