Los Pumas make five changes for England with undefeated Autumn in sight

One final game stands between Los Pumas and a perfect Quilter Nations Series, and head coach Felipe Contepomi has shuffled his matchday 23 to keep his players fresh for the coming Twickenham showdown.

An England side riding high after 10 straight wins, including a statement victory over the All Blacks last time out, awaits Argentina. Contepomi has opted for five changes to the starting XV that bested Scotland in a dramatic comeback last weekend, with changes made at prop, flanker, fly-half, wing, and centre.

Thomas Gallo is the prop coming in, replacing Mayco Vivas. The hard-hitting Marcos Kremer has replaced Joaquín Oviedo in the loose trio, sparking a reshuffle there.

In the backline, Tomás Albornoz has been favoured ahead of Gerónimo Prisciantelli at 10, while Bautista Delguy replaces Mateo Carreras on the wing, and centre Justo Piccardo comes in for Santiago Chocobares.
