Scotland coach Frank Hadden made six changes, two of them positional, for Saturday's second Test against Argentina in Buenos Aires.

The Edinburgh trio of fullback Hugo Southwell, wing Simon Webster and flyhalf Phil Godman start alongside Glasgow flanker John Barclay as Scotland aim to reverse last week's 21-15 defeat in Rosario.

Chris Paterson, switched from fullback to wing, will make his 88th appearance to become Scotland's most-capped player.H Allister Hogg moves from flanker to number eight.

Dan Parks, Thom Evans, Simon Danielli and Johnny Beattie all miss out as the Scots aim to beat the Pumas for only the second time in nine matchs since the sides first met 18 years ago.

"The only reason for the changes is to finish the season with a win," Hadden told the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) Web site (www.scottishrugby.org).

"Phil (Godman) has been playing consistently well for some time now and deserves this opportunity. It makes sense if we are to get the best out of him to surround him with familiar faces."

"John Barclay's inclusion reflects our need to perform better at the breakdown."

Team: Hugo Southwell, Chris Paterson, Ben Cairns, Graeme Morrison, Simon Webster, Phil Godman, Mike Blair, Allister Hogg, John Barclay, Alasdair Strokosch, Scott MacLeod, Matt Mustchin, Euan Murray, Ross Ford, Allan Jacobsen. Res: Dougie Hall, Alasdair Dickinson, Alastair Kellock, Kelly Brown, Rory Lawson, Dan Parks, Nick De Luca.
