Argentina coach Michael Cheika has made four changes to his line-up for the second test against the All Blacks on Saturday at the FMG Stadium Waikato, Hamilton.
Lock Guido Petti, back-rower Santiago Grondona, halfback Tomas Cubelli and winger Santiago Cordero all are promoted from the bench to the starting 15.
"Ireland were able to do it (beat New Zealand) a couple of times this year so that gives us some hope around how to look at doing it," Cheika said.
"When the challenge is big or situation in a game is tough that we try and thrive at that moment."
Argentina: 15 Juan Cruz Mallia, 14 Emiliano Boffelli, 13 Matias Moroni, 12 Matias Orlando, 11 Santiago Lamb, 10 Santiago Races, 9 Tomas Cubelli, 8 Pablo Matera, 7 Marcos Kremer, 6 Santiago Grondonia, 5 Tomas Lavanini, 4 Guido Petti, 3 Joel Sclavi, 2 Julian Montoya (captain), 1 Thomas Rooster. Replacements: 16 Santiago Socino, 17 Mayco Vivas, 18 Eduardo Beautiful, 19 Matias German, 20 Juan Martin Gonzalez, 21 Gonzalo Bertranou, 22 Benjamin Urdapiletta, 23 Lucio Cinti.
