Argentina name strong side to face Ireland with 12 changes from draw with Australia

Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi has made 12 changes to the team that drew 28-28 with Australia for Friday night’s Nations Championship game against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium (8.10pm).

The only survivors from the draw with the Wallabies at the Stadio Malvinas Argentinas in the first week in September are loosehead prop Boris Wenger, secondrow Guido Petti, who played at openside flanker that day, and number eight Pablo Matera, who was at blindside against the Aussies.
