Bath Rugby wing Horacio Agulla is among the replacements for the Argentina team to face New Zealand this Saturday in the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata, kick-off 10.10pm.
The Pumas host the All Blacks following a 32-25 loss to the Wallabies, and are still seeking their first win in their short history in the Rugby Championship.
Their opponents, in contrast, are undefeated in this season’s competition (although they did draw 12-12 with Australia) and are on course to claim the title. Intriguingly, both sides are in the same World Cup pool next year.
Should he make it onto the field, Agulla could make his 55th appearance for Argentina.
