Argentina make six changes
Argentina made six changes to their starting XV for Saturday's autumn international with Scotland, including four in the pack.
The Pumas have drafted in Leicester prop Marcos Ayerza for Rodrigo Roncero, Alberto Vernet Basualdo for Mario Ledesma at hooker, Manuel Carizza for Mariano Sambucetti at lock and Alejandro Campos for Tomas Leonardi at flanker.
They have also recalled London Irish scrum-half Alfredo Lalanne for Agustin Figuerola, while Federico Martin Aramburu has come in for Mauro Comuzzi on the wing.
Argentina, who have not lost at Murryfield since 1990, are looking to bounce back from defeats in their opening two tour games against England and Wales.
