Nicolas Sanchez, the top points scorer at the Rugby World Cup, will captain Argentina for the first time in the third-place play-off against South Africa at Queen Elizabeth Park on Friday.

Sanchez, who has 89 points mainly from the boot, assumes the armband from injured Agustin Creevy, who misses the game as one of nine changes to the Pumas team that started the 29-15 semifinal defeat by Australia last Sunday.

Creevy, outstanding winger Juan Imhoff and veteran centre Juan Martin Hernandez are key players who will miss the bronze final due to injury, having been replaced on Sunday.

Horacio Agulla and Juan Martn Fernandez Lobbe also started the 2007 bronze final against France, while Marcos Ayerza and Juan Manuel Leguizamon played off the replacements bench when the Pumas beat the tournament hosts in Paris eight years ago.

Argentina:

Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino; Santiago Cordero, Matias Moroni, Jeronimo de la Fuente, Horacio Agulla; Nicolas Sanchez (captain), Tomas Cubelli; Marcos Ayerza, Julian Montoya, Ramiro Herrera; Matas Alemanno, Tomas Lavanini; Javier Ortega Desio, Juan Manuel Leguizamon, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe.

Replacements: Lucas Noguera, Juan Pablo Orlandi, Juan Figallo, Guido Petti, Facundo Isa, Martin Landajo, Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, Juan Pablo Socino.
