Argentina have made six changes for Saturday's autumn Test versus Scotland.

Leicester prop Marcos Ayerza and London Irish scrum-half Alfredo Lalanne gain starts in place of Rodrigo Roncero and Agustin Figuerloa respectively.

Hooker Alberto Vernet Basualdo comes in for Mario Ledesma and Manuel Carizza replaces lock Mariano Sambucetti.

Tomas Leonardi loses his place at flanker to Alejandro Campos and wing Federico Martin Aramburu starts ahead of Mauro Comuzzi.

The Pumas are looking to preserve an unbeaten record at Murrayfield which stretches back to 1990.

Each side recorded a victory during Scotland's two-Test tour of Argentina in 2008 but the Scots lost when the two nations met in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup a year earlier.

The tourists are looking for their first victory of their UK tour following defeats in Wales and England.


Argentina to play Scotland: H Agulla, L Borges, G Tiesi, M Rodriguez, F M Aramburu, S Fernandez, A Lalanne; M Ayerza, A V Basualdo, M Scelzo, M Carizza, P Albacete, A Campos, A Abadie, J M Fernandez Lobbe (captain).
Replacements: A Creevy, R Roncero, E Lozada, T Leonardi, A Figuerola, B Urdapilleta, H S Martin.
