Head coach Michael Cheika named an experienced Argentina lineup to play their World Cup Pool D opener against England in Marseille on Saturday.
Agustín Creevy will play his fourth World Cup having been named on the bench, with fellow hooker Julian Montoya captaining the run-on XV.
“There was a lot of competition between players. Given the game we imagine it will be, we will have six forwards and two backs in the reserves. Argentina have lost all three of their previous World Cup pool matches against England: 39-10 in 2019, 13-9 in 2011 and 24-18 in 1995.
