Argentina have made three changes to their starting XV for Friday’s World Cup bronze final against England at Stade de France.
Pedro Rubiolo comes in for Tomas Lavanini in the second-row, Tomas Cubelli replaces Gonzalo Bertranou at scrum-half and Jeronimo de la Fuente is given the nod ahead of Santiago Chocobares at inside-centre.
There are 19 survivors from the matchday 23 who were routed 27-10 by England in their Pool D opener.
Argentina were thrashed 44-6 by New Zealand in the quarter-finals, condemning them to the third place play-off which they also won in 2007.
