  • Script:

    Barring banned centre Marcelo Bosch, Argentina will be at full-strength to face Ireland.

    He's been banned for a week for committing a dangerous tackle against Namibia in Argentina's final pool game.

    He is replaced by Matias Moroni, one of 10 changes made by Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade for the Ireland game.

    Meanwhile, the Irish will be missing Johnny Sexton on Sunday in Cardiff.

    Argentina made the last eight of the RWC after coming second in Pool C behind New Zealand.

    After defeat to the All Blacks in their opening match, the Pumas trounced Georgia, Tonga and Namibia.

    Argentina were in the last four in 2007, having beaten Ireland along the way in the pool stage.

    Many of the leading players rested for the Pool C game against Namibia return, with scrum-half Martin Landajo starting ahead of Tomas Cubelli to win his 50th cap.
