Argentina big guns set to face England at Twickenham

Argentina have named a strong side to play England on Sunday as they go in search of a first win at Twickenham since 2006.

The Pumas, led by impressive hooker Julian Montoya, will be aiming to lay down a marker against Eddie Jones's team, who are pool opponents at next year's World Cup in France.

Montoya will be joined in a strong front row led by Thomas Gallo and Francisco Gomez Kodela as they seek to end a run of three straight defeats at the end of the southern hemisphere Rugby Championship.

Argentina's back-row features powerhouse No. 8 Pablo Matera, Marcos Kremer and Juan Martin Gonzalez.

Argentina's Australian coach Michael Cheika, a teammate of Jones at Sydney club Randwick, has select Gonzalo Bertranou at scrum-half and Santiago Carreras at flyhalf in an experienced backline.

Play gets under way at 16:15 SA time.
