Pumas shuffle forward pack

Pumas coach Daniel Hourcade has named a pair of fresh locks in search of extra grunt as Argentina prepare to face the Wallabies.

Marcos Kremer and Matias Alemanno will start in the second row in place of Guido Petti and Tomas Lavanini, with Javier Ortega Desio named at openside flanker in a backrow shuffle.

Juan Manuel has been left out of the 23, with Tomas Lezana shifting from openside flanker to No. 8 in to accommodate Ortega Desio's return to the starting XV.

Tomas Cubelli won't play after fracturing his C5 vertebrae against the All Blacks, Martin Landajo slotting into the starting halfback gig.The rest of the backline remains unchanged for the clash with the Wallabies.
