Los Pumas head coach Felipe Contepomi has made three changes to his starting lineup that lost narrowly to the Wallabies for Saturday's Rugby Championship rematch in Sydney.
The All Blacks selectors have named a much-changed team to play the Springboks at Wellington's Sky Stadium this Saturday.
Australia flyhalf James O'Connor is expected to link up with new club Leicester Tigers in the coming weeks, forcing him out of action for the Wallabies.

There is a youthful air about the Springbok backline this weekend, and former stalwart Duane Vermeulen believes they have what it takes to trounce the All Blacks.
Ethan Hooker may be just two Tests into his international career, but the Springbok back insists he's not overawed by the prospect of starting against the All Blacks in one of rugby's fiercest rivalries.
