Argentina make two changes for England Nations Championship test

Argentina head coach Felipe Contepomi has made two changes for this weekend's Nations Championship third round match with England in Santiago del Estero, the Argentine Rugby Union announced on Thursday.

Bristol's Matias Moroni replaces Saracens' Lucio Cinti at outside centre while Mayco Vivas takes Boris Wenger's spot at tight-head prop for Saturday's game.

Cinti and Wenger drop to the bench for a repeat of Wednesday's heated football World Cup semifinal between the two countries, won by Lionel Messi's Argentina.

Elsewhere, among the replacements recently-crowned French Top 14 champion in Toulouse lock Efrain Elias, Leicester Tigers back-rower Joaquin Moro and prop Pedro Delgado are the other new faces from last Saturday's convincing win over Wales.

ARGENTINA (15-1): Santiago Carreras; Bautista Delguy, Matias Moroni, Justo Piccardo, Mateo Carreras; Tomas Albornoz, Gonzalo Garcia; Joaquin Oviedo, Marcos Kremer, Santiago Grondona; Matias Alemanno, Guido Petti; Tomas Rapetti, Julian Montoya (capt), Mayco Vivas

REPLACEMENTS: Ignacio Ruiz, Boris Wenger, Pedro Delgado, Efrain Elias, Pablo Matera, Joaquin Moro, Simon Benitez Cruz, Lucio Cinti
