Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade has named an unchanged team for only the second time in his three years in charge for Saturday's Test against Scotland at Murrayfield.
Hourcade has stuck with the team that lost 24-20 to Wales in Cardiff last weekend with fly-half Nicolas Sanchez set to win his 50th international cap.
The only other time Hourcade named an unchanged team, the Pumas recovered from a narrow away defeat to South Africa in this year's Rugby Championship with a home win over the Springboks a week later.
He is giving the team the chance to make amends for not playing to their strengths at the Principality Stadium.
"We didn't stick to our plans and kicked too much, we didn't play a game we feel comfortable with and got a bit lost," Hourcade said.
"We must try to do what we planned and if we lose then it will have been doing our best."
Hourcade has made two changes on the bench, bringing back veteran back-rower Juan Manuel Leguizamon and including uncapped back Juan Pablo Estelles.
Estelles, who signed for Northampton Saints after playing for Argentina's Sevens team at the Rio Olympic Games in August, was drafted into the tour squad this week as a replacement for injured winger Ramiro Moyano.
Argentina: 15 Joaquin Tuculet, 14 Matias Moroni, 13 Matias Orlando, 12 Juan Martin Hernandez, 11 Santiago Cordero, 10 Nicolas Sanchez, 9 Martin Landajo; 1 Lucas Noguera, 2 AgustIn Creevy (c), 3 Ramiro Herrera, 4 Guido Petti, 5 Matias Alemanno, 6 Pablo Matera, 7 Javier Ortega Desio, 8 Facundo Isa.
Replacements: 16 Julian Montoya, 17 Santiago Garcia Botta, 18 Enrique Pieretto, 19 Leonardo Senatore, 20 Juan Manuel Leguizamon, 21 Tomas Cubelli, 22 Jeronimo de la Fuente, 23 Juan Pablo Estelles.
