Lock Pedro Rubiolo has been ruled out with concussion, scrum-half Lautaro Bazan Velez is also absent due to a muscle strain and loose forward Bautista Pedemonte remains on the sidelines for the hosts.

Veteran former captain Agustin Creevy has now left the squad, so uncapped hooker Bautista Bernasconi could start, while Tomas Cubelli is also in contention to make the XV.

Matias Alemanno has been drafted in by Argentina for Saturday's game but may only be named among the replacements.
