Pumas make single change to XV for France

gonzalo garcia
Argentina have made single change to their starting XV for their final match of the Autumn Nations Series this Friday night in Paris.

The only change to the starting XV following their narrow loss to Ireland sees Gonzalo García starting at scrum-half.

With six wins and five losses, new head coach Felipe Contepomi's team will be aiming to see out 2024 in the best way possible against a France team flying high on the back of a win against the All Blacks last Saturday.

The Pumas' last visit to the Stade de France came during last year's World Cup, when they faced the All Blacks in the semi-finals and England in the third-place play-off. Their previous encounter there against Les Bleus was in November 2021, in what was an entertaining 29-20 defeat. The Pumas will be hoping to be on the winning side against France for the first time since 2014.
