Santiago Carreras has been dropped to the bench for Argentina's match against Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday (local time), with coach Felipe Contepomi making five changes to the starting XV that overwhelmed Wales last weekend.
Carreras was on target with all eight of his goal-kicks as Argentina enjoyed a record 52-28 win against Wales in Cardiff.

But such is the Pumas' strength in depth, the Bath star has been replaced at fullback by Juan Cruz Mallia -- another impressive performer from a recent Rugby Championship campaign where Argentina beat Australia and New Zealand.
Mallia is one of two Argentina players set to win their 50th caps in this weekend's Autumn Nations Series clash at Murrayfield, along with openside flanker Juan Martin Gonzalez.
Elsewhere in the backline, Rodrigo Isgro replaces Bautista Delguy on the right wing and Matias Moroni comes in for Justo Piccardo at outside centre. In the pack, Pedro Rubiolo starts in the second row in place of Marcos Kremer.
Back-row forward Santiago Grondona, who came off the bench to score Argentina's seventh and final try against Wales, has changed places with Pablo Matera for a match that sees the Pumas, sixth in the world rankings, facing the eighth-placed Dark Blues.
For Scotland, Rory Darge has been recalled at openside flanker in the only change to the starting side.
Darge, who came off the bench in last weekend's agonising 25-17 loss to New Zealand, returns to the back row in place of the benched Matt Fagerson as Scotland look to get their Autumn Nations Series campaign back on track against the in-form Pumas.
Inspirational playmaker Finn Russell keeps his place at fly-half after being substituted with knee and ankle issues in the closing stages of the defeat by the All Blacks.
There is still no place in the squad for influential prop Zander Fagerson, who has been working his way back to full fitness after being sidelined since early April by a combination of calf and knee problems.
Joint-record try-scorer Duhan van der Merwe is named on the bench after being dropped from the squad entirely last weekend, with Scotland coach Gregor Townsend reverting to a 5-3 split between forwards and backs after going 6-2 against the All Blacks.
