It would add further weight to Argentina's campaign to join the world elite in an annual competition and give added spice to the opening World Cup match between the teams at the same venue on September 7 next year.

In Saturday's other matches, the All Blacks meet Wales in the final game of their last European tour before the World Cup, world champions England play South Africa in the second of two Tests, Scotland host Australia and Italy play Canada.

The respective displays of Argentina, who upset England for the first time at Twickenham this month, and Ireland, 21-6 winners over a weakened Australia side, make France's World Cup group look even more daunting.

They gave a magnificent first-half display of ball retention and handling in the teeth of a ferocious wind in the Wallaby match before easing up after the interval.

Ireland have made nine changes to their starting lineup against the Islanders, who have lost successive matches to Wales and Scotland despite second half rallies which provided glimpses of their fabled running and handling skills.

Australia, scrambling to construct a decent pack, have made five changes to their forwards against a Scotland team who have announced only two injury-enforced changes.

Scrumhalf Matt Giteau combines with Stephen Larkham again for the Wallabies while Scott Staniforth gives them extra physical presence in the centres.

England, desperate for a win against South Africa at Twickenham last Saturday, eventually prevailed through a combination of willpower and mistakes by the inexperienced Springbok side.

Their performance, apart from a stirring final 10 minutes, was mostly abject and coach Andy Robinson and captain Martin Corry might not survive even if they win again on Saturday.

South Africa, who have lost their last seven matches against England, will be handicapped by the loss of flyhalf Butch James who scored one try and made another in the first test.

New Zealand captain Richie McCaw and flyhalf Daniel Carter start their fourth match in a row as part of a strong New Zealand outfit at the Millennium Stadium.
