Wing Santiago Cordero, who made his Pumas debut off the bench against England, makes his first start in place of the injured Juan Imhoff.

Scrumhalf Martin Landajo replaces Tomas Cubelli and Joaquin Tuculet plays at fullback in place of Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino.

Manuel Carizza comes in at lock for Mariano Galarza, who has returned to Worcester in an agreement between Argentina and the English club for the release this time of back row forward Leonardo Senatore, who starts on the bench.

Argentina will be looking to repeat their victory over Wales during their last European tour a year ago, when the Pumas won 26-12.

Replacements: 16-Santiago Iglesias, 17-Nahuel Lobo, 18-Matias Diaz, 19-Tomas Lavanini, 20-Leonardo Senatore, 21-Tomas Cubelli, 22-Gabriel Azcarate, 23-Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino
