Match preview

This year Argentina have beaten the All Blacks in New Zealand and England at Twickenham, and they are narrow favourites to take another scalp in Cardiff.

One thing Argentina still haven't nailed is consistency in their results, but it is worth backing them to keep up their good form against a Wales side who shipped more than 50 points to New Zealand last week.

That made it one win in seven matches for the Welsh - and the single victory came against a South Africa side who made 14 changes to the previous week's line-up - and coach Wayne Pivac has thrown in a surprise selection by naming Louis Rees-Zammit at full-back.

The young Gloucester winger is so dangerous with ball in hand but will have his hands full against a Pumas side who kick so much ball and he is sure to come under pressure.

The forward exchanges and breakdown battle could well go Argentina's way and that is so often the foundation for victory.

Wales' last two defeats to big guns New Zealand and South Africa were by big margins but their previous four losses were by four points or fewer. This looks set to be another hard-fought clash, but the in-form Pumas can have the last word.
