Argentina have named their strongest available side for the Bronze Medal match against South Africa, with injuries having depleted their squad.

Head coach Daniel Hourcade has made nine changes to the starting line-up that lost 29-15 to Australia in the semi-finals. There are four changes in the forwards and five in the backs.

Horacio Agulla, Juan Martín Hernández and Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe started in the bronze final in 2007. Marcos Ayerza and Juan Manuel Leguizamón came on as replacements in that match.

Nicolás Sánchez is the leading points scorer at RWC 2015 with 89.

One Argentina player has finished as the tournament top scorer at a Rugby World Cup, Gonzalo Quesada (102) in 1999.
