(Reuters) - Argentina coach Daniel Hourcade has overhauled his side for their fourth and final Rugby World Cup Pool C clash against Namibia, making 11 changes to the team that took the Pumas to the brink of qualification with a win over Tonga.

A New Zealand victory over the Tongans later on Friday would send Argentina into a quarter-final against France or Ireland and Hourcade has decided to rest a raft of first-choice players for Sunday's clash at Leicester City Stadium.
