Argentina have made nine changes for their World Cup third-place play-off against South Africa at the Olympic Park on Friday.
Coach Daniel Hourcade has named fly-half Nicolas Sanchez as his captain in a new-look Pumas outfit, especially in midfield.
Veteran centres Juan Martin Hernandez and Marcelo Bosch have been replaced by Matias Moroni and Jeronimo de la Fuente.
Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, an early replacement for wing Juan Imhoff during Argentina's bruising 29-15 semi-final defeat by Australia at Twickenham on Sunday, comes in at full-back to replace Joaquin Tuculet, who suffered a shoulder injury.
"The changes have been forced on us by injuries and we have also analysed the huge workload of some players given that we have two days less rest than before our previous matches," Hourcade said.
Old hands Horacio Agulla and Juan Manuel Leguizamon also return.
Agulla, a veteran of the 2007 bronze medal team, stands in for wing Imhoff who suffered a knock to his head in the first half on Sunday.
Julian Montoya replaces captain Agustin Creevy in the front-row while Leguizamon, another of the 2007 vintage, returns at number eight after not featuring since the group stages.
Agulla and flanker Juan Fernandez Lobbe will be facing South Africa for the second time at a World Cup having been part of the team that lost their semi-final in France in 2007.
Argentina: Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino, Santiago Cordero, Matias Moroni, Jeronimo de la Fuente, Horacio Agulla, Nicolas Sanchez (captain), Tomas Cubelli, Marcos Ayerza, Julian Montoya, Ramiro Herrera, Matias Alemanno, Tomas Lavanini, Javier Ortega Desio, Juan Fernandez Lobbe, Juan Manuel Leguizamon.
Replacements: Lucas Noguera, Juan Pablo Orlandi, Juan Figallo, Guido Petti, Facundo Isa, Martin Landajo, Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias, Juan Pablo Socino.
