Volkswacht Bodensee - Argentina and Scotland make changes for decisive third Test

After the hosts won the first clash 28-16 and lost the second 29-6 over the past two weekends, the two teams will meet at the Madre de Ciudades stadium on Saturday.

With several injuries in the pack, Argentina's Australian coach Michael Cheika said the changes were a chance "to give an opportunity to those who show their dedication."

Pablo Matera, who will captain in the absence of Julian Montoya, and veteran hooker Augustin Creevy both return.

Lautaro Bazan Velez, a junior Puma player-turned sevens star, will start at scrum half.

For Scotland, Glasgow full-back Ollie Smith, 21, will make his first start, replacing the injured Rory Hutchinson in one of eight changes by coach Gregor Townsend.

Scotland are without three backs. Kyle Rowe suffered an injury after coming off the bench last weekend and Darcy Graham was ruled out with a delayed concussion.

Kickoff at 16:10 pm (1910 GMT). Referee: Ben O'Keeffe (NZ).
