Argentina have recalled veteran centre Felipe Contepomi, who missed the
inaugural Rugby Championship, to their side to play Wales at the
Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday.
Comtepomi, 35, had not been named in coach Santiago Phelan's squad for the November internationals.
He will play at inside centre alongside Gonzalo Tiesi, who will make his
first appearance for Argentina since he was injured in the opening
match against England at last year's World Cup.
Flyhalf Juan Martin Hernandez reverts to his original position of
fullback with his understudy Nicolas Sanchez taking over at number 10.
Lock Patricio Albacete will miss the match after sustaining a fracture
near his eye.
