Santiago Fernández (born 28 November 1985 in Buenos Aires) is a former Argentine rugby footballer who played for Pau, Bayonne, Montpellier and amateur side Hindu Club, although he was paid by the Argentine Rugby Union as one of their better home-based players. His preferred position was at fly-half, although he could also play at centre. A starlet for the age group teams in Argentina as well as the sevens team Fernandez has been capped at full team level and played at the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.[citation needed]
Fernández replaced Felipe Contepomi in Argentina's autumn tour in Europe.[1]
