PARIS : Argentina have made three changes to their line-up for Rugby World Cup’s bronze medal match against England in Paris on Friday, signaling their intent to try for a positive finish to the tournament in France.
Argentina have invoked their historic victory over New Zealand last year in their quest to pull off a seismic upset by winning Friday's World Cup semi-final. The Pumas prevailed 25-18 in Christchurch to topple the All Blacks for the first time and skipper Julian Montoya says that has instilled the belief that they can engineer a dramatic upset at the Stade de France. "As soon as you get on the field you believe you can win. It's true we have some firsts under our belts," Montoya said. "We were the first Argentina team to beat New Zealand and that confirms we can beat anyone. "I have full confidence in our team and our players. This is the moment to play the best game of our lives and give everything." The All Blacks are known for their ability to conjure spectacular tries but Argentina head coach Michael Cheika insists they are also accomplished at the less glamorous parts of the game. "New Zealand have always been an example in rugby, a benchmark. They make you think of high-level skills in a really open game but there are always threats in the line-out, mauls and rucks," Cheika said. "In a World Cup semi-final they are dangerous everywhere. We have been training as best we can, we will be ready. We'll see what happens." Argentina have made one change to the side that defeated Wales 29-17 in the quarter-finals, bringing in Gonzalo Bertranou for Tomas Cubelli at scrum-half. Matias Alemanno, Agustin Creevy, Facundo Isa, Tomas Lavanini, Nicolas Sanchez, Guido Petti and Montoya are the survivors from the Pumas' last World Cup semi-final against Australia in 2015.
