Argentina have opted to tinker with a winning formula by making nine changes to the squad that scored a shock victory over South Africa last weekend.

Los Pumas claimed their first ever win over the Springboks in Durban but have not been afraid to mix things up ahead of the rematch in Buenos Aires on Saturday.

Juan Martin Hernandez vacates the No.10 jersey to move to inside centre, with Nicolas Sanchez set to return to the fly-half berth. Santiago Cordero and Matias Moroni will line up in the backs division along with Martin Landajo at scrum-half.

It's a case of personnel and positional switches in the back-row, where Juan Manuel Legiuzamon moves to No.8 with the return of Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe on the openside. Tomas Lezana starts at six.

Benjamin Macome will pack down alongside Tomas Lavanini in the second row, while the front row is unchanged, with Agustin Creevy set to lead the team once again.
