Argentina have made three changes to face France in Lille on Saturday, two enforced by injuries to Felipe Contepomi and Juan Martin Hernandez in last weekend’s win over Wales.

Marcelo Bosch goes to centre in place of Contepomi, whose knee ligament injury has ruled him out for the rest of the tour.

Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino comes in at fullback for Hernandez, who could be fit for the November 24th Test against Ireland in Dublin. Horacio Agulla lines up on the right wing in place of Gonzalo Camacho, who moves to the bench.

There are no changes in the pack where captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe remains at blindside flanker instead of his usual position of number eight.

ARGENTINA: L Gonzalez Amorosino; H Agulla, G Tiesi, M Bosch, J Imhoff; N Sanchez, M Landajo; M Ayerza, E Guinazu, J Figallo; M Carizza, J Farias Cabello; JM Fernandez Lobbe, JM Leguizamon, L Senatore. Replacements: A Creevy, N Lobo, F Gomez Kodela, T Vallejos, T De la Vega, T Cubelli, G Camacho, J Tuculet.
