Ireland remains in a defeat (13-23) against New Zealand while the Argentines largely defeated the Italians (18-50). On the Irish side, coach Andy Farrell has decided to renew the same team as the one which lost against the All Blacks. With one exception: Bundee Aki, in the center of the attack, is replaced by Robbie Henshaw.
Opposite, the Pumas coach has chosen to make three changes. First the vice-captain and third row Pablo Matera, returned from suspension, returns to the fifteen and replaces Santiago Grondona. In the second row, it is the Bordeaux player Guido Petti who will start in place of Molina. And finally, Matias Moroni will take Orlando’s place in the center.
A match to watch carefully since Argentina is, after New Zealand, the next opponent of the French XV, on November 22, at the Stade de France.
The kick-off of this test match between Ireland and Argentina is scheduled for this Friday at 9:10 p.m. The meeting can be followed on BeIN Sports 2.
