Hourcade and his players were angry with themselves for letting slip a 10-point lead in the last 10 minutes of their tournament opener in Nelspruit last weekend which ended in a 30-23 defeat by the Springboks.

"We were left with the anger of the last match because we know we have a team to beat anyone," captain Agustin Creevy said. "Let's hope on Saturday we play well and get a victory."

Back row forward Juan Manuel Leguizamon, a veteran of three World Cups, will win his 70th Pumas cap.

The match will be played at the Estadio Padre Martearena in the northwestern Argentine city of Salta (kickoff 1940 GMT).
