Lucas González Amorosino (born 2 November 1985 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine rugby union player who plays fullback or wing for the Argentina national rugby union team The Pumas.
He was part of the Argentina sevens team before joining Leicester in 2009 following his full international début against England that summer.
Currently Lucas is part of the Argentina squad that competes in the Rugby Championship.
He was given a trial by Leicester before the start of the 2009/10 season, he was later given a full contract ahead of French international Nicolas Jeanjean who was also at Leicester on a trial basis at the time.
González Amorosino made an instant impression, scoring 4 tries in his first 6 matches, including 2 in the opening two rounds of the Heineken Cup and one in Leicester's win against a South African touring XV at Welford Road.
However he suffered a stress fracture in his leg early in November in an LV Cup match and missed the 2010 November internationals. The Argentina management hit out at Leicester for playing him in two matches in three days.
He returned from his injury in January 2010 but from this point onwards he played very little for Leicester, despite the good start to his career at Leicester.
González Amorosino played for Argentina during the 2010 mid year tests against Scotland and France, starting 2 of the 3 matches.
