Same again for plucky Pumas
Rugby Union,
Last updated:
Argentina will be unchanged for their clash with Australia in Rosario on Saturday as the Rugby Championship comes to an end.
The Pumas went down 54-15 to New Zealand last weekend to hand the All Blacks the title but coach Santiago Phelan has decided to keep the faith with his XV.
The only changes made by the South Americans come on the bench where Leonardo Senatore and Nicolas Sanchez replace Tomas Vallejos and Martin Rodriguez.
Argentina are winless in the inaugural tournament having lost four out of five of their games to date although they did manage a draw against South Africa in Mendoza on August 25.
Australia have endured an injury-plagued tournament and will be up against it when they tackle the Pumas who are desperate to sign off in style.
The Wallabies, who are yet to win on the road, have made five changes to their starting side which includes a debut for winger Nick Cummins.
Coach Robbie Deans also hands places in the XV to Mike Harris, Ben Tapuai, Sitaleki Timani and James Slipper.
