While the inclusion of Santiago Gonzalez Iglesias at inside centre will ensure Juan Martín Hernández moving into the flyhalf positon ahead of Nicolás Sánchez, who has been dropped.

In the back row No.8 Leonardo Senatore has replaced Facundo Isa.  

This will be the twenty-first time that these teams meet with a  record 14 wins England, four for Argentina and two draws.

The last time the Pumas won at Twickenham was in 2006, with Juan Martin Hernandez being part of the 25-18 victory.

Hourcade said his team would have to be at their best against an England side on a 12-game winning streak, the last 11 all under Australian coach Eddie Jones.

"Even though the perfect match doesn't exist, we have to play the best game possible, because England are in a great place and they're a very good team," said Hourcade.
