Who is Juan Martín Hernández?

Juan Martín Hernández is an Argentine rugby union player. A mainstay of the Argentina national team, he currently plays for the Paris club Racing Métro in the French Top 14 competition. His 2010 move to Racing brought him back to the city where he had begun his professional career in 2003 with Stade Français. He has also played in the South African Currie Cup with the Natal Sharks, and was slated to play with the Sharks in Super Rugby in 2010, but suffered a back injury that knocked him out of the Super Rugby season. Hernández is a "utility back" capable of playing at fly-half, centre, or fullback, though he generally prefers fly-half.

Hernández made his test debut for Los Pumas against Paraguay on April 2003. Since then he has earned over 30 caps for his national team.

His uncle Patricio Hernández was part of the Argentine football squad for the 1982 FIFA World Cup.

His sister María de la Paz "Maripi" Hernández, won a silver medal with the Argentina hockey team at the 2000 Summer Olympics and bronze medals at the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics.
