Wales and Argentina face off for the 21st time when the two sides meet at Principality Stadium on Saturday evening.

After losing to New Zealand last weekend, Wayne Pivac’s side will be hoping to kick-start their Autumn Nations Series campaign with a victory here.

Meanwhile, Argentina will be full of confidence after their thrilling one-point win against England at Twickenham on Sunday.

Los Pumas ran out 33-11 winners when the two teams met in Cardiff last July, with a 20-20 draw the week before that, though Wales have won 13 of their 18 previous encounters.

Cuthbert returns for Wales

Alex Cuthbert will make his first appearance for Wales this Autumn Nations Series after being recalled to the starting XV by Wayne Pivac.

Also selected are Rio Dyer, who scored a try on his debut against the All Blacks last weekend, and Dan Lydiate, who is also set to make his first start of Wales’ end-of-year campaign.

There’s a first international appearance at full-back for Louis Rees-Zammit, while Gareth Anscombe reverts to fly-half.
