Scrum half Gonzalo Bertranou has been named to start for Argentina's Rugby Championship fixture with South Africa on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 4:05pm).
Bertranou, who has made 10 appearances for Dragons since his move to the region in February, came off the bench in last week’s defeat against the same opponents.
Head Coach Mario Ledesma has freshened up the side with numerous changes including a new half back partnership with Bertranou partnered by Domingo Miotti at outside half.
