Wales v Argentina team news as Wayne Pivac makes three changes after All Blacks defeat

Wayne Pivac has made three personnel changes and three positional switches to the side which was hammered by the All Blacks as Wales look to bounce back against Argentina in Cardiff this Saturday (5.30pm kick-off).

As expected, Louis Rees-Zammit shifts to full-back to make his first international appearance in the position, with wing Alex Cuthbert set for his first appearance since July after overcoming injury. Gareth Anscombe is set to start at fly-half, having been named at 10 last weekend only to switch to full-back to accommodate Rhys Priestland following Leigh Halfpenny's withdrawal.

In the pack, Dillon Lewis replaces Tomas Francis at tight-head, while Dan Lydiate is back in the Welsh back-row after Tommy Reffell was ruled out after a bang to his ribs. Lydiate's return on the blindside, where he started in all three of Wales' Tests in South Africa in July, allows captain Justin Tipuric to revert to his natural openside position.
