Argentina has revamped their starting XV for a pivotal Rugby Championship match against South Africa in Nelspruit this Saturday, including selecting Santiago Carreras at fullback for his reliable kicking.

Argentina's hopes for their first championship depend on winning with a try-scoring bonus point while preventing the Springboks from scoring any points.

Significant changes include Rodrigo Isgro on the wing, Matias Moroni at outside centre, and Gonzalo Garcia at scrumhalf. The second row will feature Pedro Rubiolo and Tomas Lavanini, with flanker Juan Martin Gonzalez replacing Pablo Matera, who moves to the bench. Santiago Grondona steps in for injured Marcos Kremer.
