Argentina has made five changes for the match against England, including fly-half Thomas Albornoz at Allianz Stadium in London.
Twickenham will once again host Los Pumas for their last match of the November International Window. The match will be the third meeting of the teams this year following the visit of the English team to Argentina in July where they played in La Plata and San Juan. England won both matches 35-12 and 22-17, respectively.
The Pumas come into this match after beating Wales and Scotland in their first two matches of the European autumn. Steve Borthwick's team, on the other hand, is coming off 10 wins in a row. Their last defeat was at the start of the six-nation championship in February of this year, when they lost to Ireland 27-22 in Dublin.
The last time Los Pumas were victorious against England was precisely in the last meeting between the two teams at Twickenham in 2022. There, the team led at the time by Michael Cheika, won 30-29. Emiliano Boffelli was the main contributor with 25 points, the result of a try, six penalties and a conversion. The remaining try was scored by Santiago Carreras.
The Pumas are bidding to complete an unbeaten tour of Britain, with a record 52-28 thrashing of Wales in Cardiff earlier this month preceding their comeback win over Scotland.
For this match, Felipe Contepomi, head coach of Los Pumas, made five changes from the XV that took the field last Sunday in Edinburgh:
