Leicester prop Marcos Ayerza, hooker Alberto Vernet Basualdo, lock Manuel Carizza and flanker Alejandro Campos are all handed starts for the match, with Rodrigo Roncero, Mario Ledesma, Mariano Sambucetti and Tomas Leonardi missing out.
In the backs, London Irish scrum-half Alfredo Lalanne is recalled at the expense of Agustin Figuerola, while Federico Martin Aramburu comes in on the win in place of Mauro Comuzzi.
