SYDNEY: Argentina coach Mario Ledesma has made five changes from the side that ran the All Blacks close in their Rugby Championship opener for Saturday's test against Australia in Brisbane.
Ledesma is using the Rugby Championship to try and work some of Argentina's Europe-based talent back into the squad heavily reliant on the Jaguares team. Tomas Lezana replaced Marcos Kremer at openside flanker, Santiago Cordero will start on the wing in place of Matias Moroni who moves into the centres, and Joaquin Tuculet gets a run at fullback with Emiliano Boffelli left out of the squad.Experienced loose forward Juan Manuel Leguizamon was included on a forward-heavy bench along with Socini, who came through in English rugby but will join the Jaguares for next season.
Argentina got their first Rugby Championship win over the Wallabies on Australian soil on the Gold Coast last year.
