Nicolás Sánchez will start at flyhalf in one of seven changes to Argentina's run-on XV for the Test against the Springboks in Buenos Aires on Saturday.
In three other changes to the backline, coach Daniel Hourcade has opted to start Santiago Cordero on the right wing, Matías Moroni at outside centre and Martín Landajo at scrumhalf. And in a positional switch, Juan Martín Hernández shifts from flyhalf to inside centre.
Among the forwards, Juan Manuel Legiuzamón moves to No 8 with the return of Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe at openside flanker and Tomás Lezana at blindside. Pablo Matera moves onto the bench, while Leonardo Senatore drops out of the match 23.
No 4 lock Benjamin Macome joins Tomás Lavanini in the second row, replacing Guido Petti.
