Dragons RFC scrum half Gonzalo Bertranou starts for Argentina when they face New Zealand in the Rugby Championship opener in his hometown of Mendoza on Saturday (kick-off 8.10pm UK).
Prop Lucio Sordoni will make his first appearance for Los Pumas in almost three years in an otherwise settled team named by coach Michael Cheika.
The team has a familiar look to it as full back Emiliano Boffelli continues his run of playing every Test since Australian Cheika took over.
Santiago Carreras is preferred to Nicolas Sanchez at fly half and the team will be captained by hooker Julian Montoya.
Cheika is missing suspended Marcos Kremer who will sit out the entire Rugby Championship.
Argentina have beaten the All Blacks twice in the last three years, though both those matches were away in neutral Australia and last season in New Zealand.
