2015 hero Imhoff back in as Pumas chase historic third win in South Africa

Juan Imhoff has been named on the left-wing as go in search of a third win for the first time since they joined The Rugby in 2012.

Imhoff was the hat-trick hero that guided Argentina to a famous win in Durban back in 2015, and will be hopeful of producing similar as Los Pumas aim to get off the foot of the table where they currently sit.

It has been an impressive tournament for Argentina, who recorded their largest ever win against any of their fellow nations in the competition with a 31-point hammering of Australia, and earned a first win in New Zealand.

But they will be desperate to finish strong after a 50-point loss to was followed by a home defeat to last weekend, in a game where they were highly competitive until the final ten minutes.

The only other change to the starting team sees Matias Moroni come in for his namesake Orlando at outside centre, but there are three changes to the bench.

Mayco Vivas is named as a replacement prop, Pedro Rubiolo could make his debut as a backrow sub, and Bautista Delguy takes the vacant spot left by Moroni in the number 23 shirt.
