Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade has named his 25-man squad to face the Barbarians at Twickenham on November 21.

The Pumas reached their second World Cup semifinal where they fell short against eventual runners-up Australia at the same stadium last month.

Hourcade includes wing Santiago Cordero, fly-half Nicolas Sanchez, scrum-half Martin Landajo and centre Juan Martin Hernandez in the backs. Fellow World Cup stars Agustin Creevy, Ramiro Herrera, Matias Alemanno and Pablo Matera are among the forwards.

Wallabies coach Michael Cheika will take charge of the Barbarians, who face Gloucester on November 17 before their Killik Cup clash against Argentina next week.

Cheika has New Zealand wing Nehe Milner-Skudder, Australia trio Stephen Moore, Scott Fardy and Tevita Kuridrani, and South Africa locks Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha to pick from, as well as Fiji wing Nemani Nadolo.

Argentina squad:

Forwards: Matias Alemanno, Agustin Creevy, Santiago Garcia Botta, Ramiro Herrera, Facundo Isa, Tomas Lezana, Pablo Matera, Julian Montoya, Lucas Noguera, Juan Pablo Orlandi, Javier Ortega Desio, Guido Peti Pagadizabal, Leonardo Senatore, Nahuel Tetaz Caparro.
