Argentina will field the same lineup that beat Six Nations champion France when it meets Ireland at Lansdowne Road on Saturday.

The Pumas scored a 24-14 upset victory in Marseille to become the first team to beat France during 2004 and end a French streak of eight victories in a row.

They have been forced to make a change on the bench, however, with uncapped forward Augusto Petrilli taking over from injured Martin Schusterman.

The Pumas aim to beat the Irish for the third time in seven meetings. But the Irish are in top form after beating Tri Nations champion South Africa 17-12 two weeks ago.

Ireland rested several of its stars and still beat the United States 55-6 on Saturday but coach Eddie O'Sullivan will field a full-strength side against Argentina.

Argentina:

Juan Martin Hernandez; Lucas Borges, Federico Martin Aramburu, Manuel Contepomi, Hernan Senillosa; Felipe Contepomi, Agustin Pichot (captain); Rodrigo Roncero, Mario Ledesma, Omar Hasan, Patricio Albacete, Rimas Alvarez, Martin Durand, Lucas Ostiglia, Gonzalo Longo. Reserves: Federico Mendez, Daniel Rodriguez, Pablo Bouza, Augusto Petrilli, Nicolas Fernandez Miranda, Juan de la Cruz Fernandez Miranda, Gonzalo Tiesi.
