Argentina are ready to light up London again when they take on Australia in the first Rugby Championship match staged in the northern hemisphere which will be shown live on Sky Sports.
The Pumas played a starring role in the 2015 World Cup until their adventurous approach was halted in the semi-finals by the Wallabies.
The sides meet again at Twickenham Stadium on October 8 in the final round of the tournament and the Pumas will continue to attack according to scrum-half Tomas Cubelli.
"In the last weeks of the World Cup when I was going to the shops people noticed my accent, asked where I was from and when I said I was here playing for Argentina everyone said they loved to watch us," said Cubelli.
"After England went out everyone seemed to be cheering for Argentina maybe because we were the underdogs.
"The style of play was something we had been working on and we reached our potential with it in the World Cup. But I think we can add more things to our game now as a team and as individual players.
"We know each other well, spend time together and now the Jaguares have started to play in Super Rugby that helps as well but we still have a long way to go.
"We learned a lot from that game [against Australia]. The good thing is that we went out with a lot of conviction and played the semi-final in the same style and tried to attack without hesitating. The one big lesson for the team was that we have to add some balance."
The Pumas beat South Africa 26-24 in Salta and were superb in the opening 50 minutes before folding in the second half to go down 57-22 against New Zealand. They went looking for their second win of the campaign against Australia in Perth, however three tries in the first 12 minutes gave the Wallabies a 36-20 win.
The Pumas will now look to regroup for their final two games of the Rugby Championship - a home match against New Zealand, who have already wrapped up the title, on October 1 followed by that clash at Twickenham against Australia a week later.
"Twickenham will be an unforgettable game that will be memorable for everyone," added Cubelli. It's a special field for anyone who plays rugby. For two nations who aren't England playing at Twickenham it's an exciting thing to be involved in."
